🥔 Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes
✅ Servings: 2–4
⏱️ Prep Time: 10 minutes (plus optional 20 min soak)
🔥 Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
🍽️ Total Time: ~30 minutes
📋 Ingredients:
-
2–3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
-
1½ tablespoons olive oil
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color & flavor)
-
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
Optional toppings:
-
Grated parmesan cheese
-
Fresh parsley or rosemary (chopped)
-
Chili flakes or hot sauce for a kick
-
🔪 Instructions:
1. Prep the Potatoes
-
Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly (peel if desired, but skins get crispy too!).
-
Slice into even ⅛ to ¼ inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
-
Optional (but recommended):
Soak the slices in a bowl of cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them crisp up better in the air fryer. -
Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Slices
-
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with:
-
Olive oil
-
Garlic powder
-
Paprika
-
Salt & pepper
-
-
Mix until all slices are evenly coated.
3. Air Fry the Potatoes
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
-
Place slices in the air fryer in a single layer. You may need to work in batches for even cooking.
-
Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
Keep an eye on them—cook time can vary depending on thickness & type of potato.
-
Thinner = crispier like chips. Thicker = golden edges with soft centers.
-
4. Finish & Serve
-
Once golden and crispy, remove and season with a little extra salt (or parmesan!).
-
Garnish with chopped herbs or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
-
Serve hot with ketchup, ranch, or aioli.
💡 Tips & Variations:
-
For extra crisp: Give them some space in the basket and don’t overcrowd.
-
Cheesy version: Sprinkle shredded cheese on the potatoes in the last 2 minutes.
-
Spicy twist: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder before air frying.
