Here’s a super easy and tasty recipe for Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes — crispy edges, tender centers, and a perfect side for just about anything.
🥔 Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 2–3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: grated Parmesan, fresh herbs, or dipping sauce
Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes:
Wash and thinly slice potatoes into rounds (about ⅛–¼ inch thick). You can peel them or leave the skin on — your choice! - Soak (optional but helps crispiness):
Place slices in a bowl of cold water for 20–30 minutes. Drain and pat very dry with paper towels. - Season:
Toss dry slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. - Air fry:
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange slices in a single layer (or slight overlap) in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed. - Cook time:
Air fry for 12–16 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on the edges. Time may vary based on thickness and air fryer model. - Serve:
Sprinkle with extra salt, herbs, or Parmesan while hot. Serve with ketchup, ranch, or aioli.
📝 Tips:
- Mandoline slicer helps for even, thin slices.
- For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the basket and dry the slices well after soaking.
- Try seasoning variations like Cajun, rosemary & sea salt, or taco spice.
