Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices

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

1. 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.

2. Season the potatoes:

   • In a bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.

3. 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.

4. 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.
