Tips

• Remove the skin of the potatoes if you do not wish to serve with the skin on but leaving the skin on while baking adds better flavor.
• If you need crispier potatoes make sure you cut the potato into thin slices.
• When applying the mixture over the potatoes make sure that you are covering the potato slits as well.
• If you find it difficult cutting the potatoes not going all the way through then make sure to place the potato in between two wooden spoons or chopsticks.

Method

• Preheat the air fryer for 160°c for 05 minutes
• Wash potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the potato into thin slices not going all the way down.
• Prepare the marinade – Add all the ingredients into a small bowl and give it a good mix.

Marinade Sauce

• Brush the mixture over potatoes thoroughly and make sure you are applying the mixture inside the slits as well.
• Season with Finch dried oregano leaves to add herby flavor but be careful not to overdo it because a little goes a long way.
