Here’s a simple recipe for Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices—golden, crunchy on the outside, and soft inside.
Ingredients
-
2–3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil
-
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
-
Prep the potatoes:
-
Wash and peel the potatoes (peeling is optional).
-
Slice them thinly and evenly using a knife or mandoline for uniform cooking.
-
Soak slices in cold water for 15–20 minutes to remove excess starch.
-
Pat dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
-
-
Season the potatoes:
-
In a bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
-
-
Air fry:
-
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
-
Arrange potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary).
-
Cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve immediately as a snack or side dish.
-
Optional: sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
-
Tips:
-
For extra crispiness, slice potatoes as thin as possible and make sure they are dry before air frying.
-
You can experiment with seasonings: rosemary, chili powder, or onion powder work well.
-
These are best eaten fresh—leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
