🥔 Crispy Sliced Potatoes in the Air Fryer

Quick, crispy, and perfectly seasoned potato slices that taste like chips and roasties had a delicious baby. Ready in under 20 minutes!
✅ Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • 2 medium potatoes (Yukon gold or russet work great)

  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for flavor & color)

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional toppings: fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary), grated parmesan, chili flakes, or dipping sauces

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

  • Wash and dry the potatoes.

  • Slice into 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick rounds using a knife or mandoline for even slices.

💡 Thinner = crispier, thicker = more tender centers.

Step 2: Season

  • In a bowl, toss sliced potatoes with:

    • Olive oil

    • Salt

    • Pepper

    • Garlic powder

    • Paprika (or your favorite seasoning blend)

Make sure each slice is well coated for even browning.

Step 3: Air Fry

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) if your model requires it.

  • Arrange slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you can slightly overlap, but don’t overcrowd).

  • Air fry for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

⏱️ Thinner slices = ~10 minutes, thicker slices = ~14–15 minutes.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

These air-fried sliced potatoes are super versatile:

  • As a side for steak, chicken, or burgers

  • As a snack with ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup

🔄 Variations to Try

  • Cheesy Potato Slices: Add shredded cheddar or parmesan in the last 2 minutes.

  • Spicy Style: Toss with Cajun or chili seasoning.

  • Herby Potatoes: Add dried rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning before cooking.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Soak potato slices in cold water for 15–30 mins before air frying to remove excess starch — this helps get them even crispier!

  • Pat dry with paper towels before seasoning.

  • Don’t skip flipping halfway through – it helps them crisp evenly on both sides.
