Here’s a quick and easy Air Fryer Potato Slices recipe—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect as a snack or side dish.
🥔 Air Fryer Potato Slices
Ingredients
- 2–3 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)
Instructions
1. Prepare the potatoes
- Wash and peel the potatoes if desired.
- Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
- Optional: Soak slices in cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch (makes them crispier).
- Pat dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
2. Season
- In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
3. Preheat air fryer
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
4. Air fry
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overcrowd).
- Cook 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Cook in batches if necessary for even crispiness.
5. Serve
- Serve hot with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Optional: Sprinkle with extra herbs or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
⭐ Tips
- Uniform slices: Use a mandoline slicer for even cooking.
- Crispier: Lightly spray with extra oil before air frying.
- Flavor variations: Try Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, or Parmesan + garlic.
- Storage: Eat immediately for best crunch; leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes.
I can also give you a loaded air fryer potato slices version with cheese, bacon, and green onions if you want a more indulgent snack.
