SLICED POTATOES IN THE AIR FRYER

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for crispy sliced potatoes in the air fryer — like homemade potato chips or mini fries!

🥔 Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2–3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)

• 1–2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt, to taste

• Optional seasonings:

  • Garlic powder

  • Paprika or smoked paprika

  • Black pepper

  • Italian herbs or rosemary

  • Chili flakes (for spice)

Instructions:

1. Prep the potatoes:

   • Wash and thinly slice the potatoes — about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick for crispy rounds, or up to ¼ inch (6 mm) for thicker bites.

   • You can peel them or leave the skin on.

2. Soak (optional but recommended):

   • Soak slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them crisp better.

   • Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

3. Season:

   • Toss dried slices in olive oil and seasonings of your choice.

4. Air fry:

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

   • Lay the potato slices in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if needed).

   • Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through.

   • Watch closely near the end so they don’t burn — thinner slices crisp up faster.

5. Serve:

   • Sprinkle with more salt or your favorite seasoning blend.

   • Serve hot with dipping sauce like ketchup, sour cream, ranch, or garlic aioli.

🧄 Variations:

• Cheesy: Add grated Parmesan during the last 2 minutes.

• Sweet potatoes: Follow the same steps — just slice a bit thicker and cook slightly longer.

• Loaded version: Top with melted cheese, scallions, and bacon bits after cooking.
