Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Making Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes is quick, easy, and results in crispy, golden, and delicious potatoes without the need for deep frying. The air fryer gives them a crispy texture on the outside while keeping them soft and tender on the inside. Here’s a simple recipe for Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes:

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)

• 1-2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (optional)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

• Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.

• Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds or wedges, depending on your preference. Try to keep the slices as even as possible for uniform cooking.

2. Season the Potatoes:

• In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.

• Add the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, rosemary (if using), and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

4. Air Fry the Potatoes:

• Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure crispiness.

• Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping. The exact time can vary depending on the thickness of your slices and the air fryer model.

• Check for doneness by poking a potato slice with a fork—if it’s tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, it’s ready.

5. Serve:

• Once they’re cooked to golden perfection, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.

• Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) for a pop of color and serve immediately.

Pro Tips:

• Thickness: Adjust the thickness of your potato slices depending on how crispy or soft you like them. Thicker slices will need a little more time, while thinner ones will cook faster and become crispier.

• Air Fryer Models: Different air fryer models may require slight adjustments in cooking time and temperature, so keep an eye on the potatoes during the first batch.

• Extra Flavor: For added flavor, you can sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for a cheesy, savory crust.

• Dips: Serve these crispy sliced potatoes with your favorite dipping sauces, like ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli.

Variations:

• Spicy: Add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.

• Herb-infused: Try fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for a fresh herbal flavor.

These Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes are perfect as a snack, side dish, or appetizer! Crispy, flavorful, and made with minimal oil—what’s not to love? Enjoy!
