crispy air fryer potato slices

Crispy air fryer potato slices are like homemade potato chips or mini steak fries — crunchy outside, tender inside. Here’s a simple recipe:

🔥 Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes (russet or Yukon gold work best)

• 1–2 Tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• Optional: grated Parmesan, fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme)

Instructions

1. Prep potatoes:

   • Wash and scrub potatoes (peeling optional).

   • Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds (use a knife or mandoline for even slices).

2. Soak:

   • Place slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove starch (helps crispiness).

   • Drain and pat completely dry with a towel.

3. Season:

   • Toss slices in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until coated.

4. Air fry:

   • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

   • Arrange slices in a single layer (work in batches if needed).

   • Air fry 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve:

   • Sprinkle with Parmesan or herbs if desired.

   • Best enjoyed hot with dipping sauces (ketchup, ranch, or spicy aioli).
