How to Prepare Chicken in Potato Crust
In this recipe, chicken breast slices can be used in the desired size, whether they are thin or larger in size.
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, slice them thinly or use a large-hole grater to obtain potato flakes.
For optimal results, dip the slices in beaten egg and then coat them with flour.
To complete the preparation, coat the slices thoroughly in grated potatoes, ensuring the potato flakes adhere well to each slice. Adjust the amount of salt to your taste.
Prepare the air fryer and preheat it to 392°F.
Take the chicken fillets and place them on a sheet of parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly laid out, avoiding overlaps.
Start the air fryer and cook the chicken fillets for 20 minutes at around 392°F until they achieve a crispy golden color.
Serve the chicken fillets hot and enjoy them as you like, perhaps accompanied by a sauce or a side dish of your choice.
