These Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor — the perfect side dish or snack made in just minutes! Whether you season them with classic salt and pepper or add herbs and spices for a twist, they’re an easy and healthy alternative to deep-fried potatoes.
🥔 Ingredients
- 3 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for color)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or rosemary (optional)
🔪 Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes. Slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds — thin enough to crisp up but thick enough to stay soft inside. - Soak and Dry:
Place the slices in cold water for 15–20 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels — this step is key for crispiness! - Season:
Toss the dry potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. - Air Fry:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the slices in a single layer in the basket (don’t overcrowd). Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. - Serve:
Sprinkle with herbs or extra salt. Serve immediately with ketchup, ranch dressing, or spicy aioli.
💡 Tips
- For ultra-crispy edges, slice the potatoes evenly using a mandoline.
- Add grated Parmesan before air frying for a cheesy crust.
- Try seasoning variations like Cajun, Italian, or BBQ spice blends.
🧊 Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes to bring back the crisp texture.
Enjoy !!
