Here’s a detailed recipe for Air Fryer Potato Slices—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and easy to make.
Air Fryer Potato Slices
Ingredients:
- 2–3 medium potatoes
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs
Instructions:
1. Prepare the potatoes
- Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes.
- Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
- Optional: soak slices in cold water for 10–15 minutes to remove excess starch; this makes them crispier. Drain and pat dry.
2. Season the potatoes
- In a bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
3. Preheat the air fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
4. Air fry
- Place the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
- Cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Cook until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve
- Serve hot as a side dish or snack.
- Optional: sprinkle with fresh herbs (like parsley or rosemary) or a little grated Parmesan.
Tips for Best Results:
- Single layer: Avoid overcrowding the basket for even crisping.
- Thickness matters: Thicker slices take longer; thinner slices get crispier faster.
- Extra crispy: Lightly spray with cooking spray halfway through cooking.
- Storage: Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
I can also give a loaded version with cheese, bacon bits, and sour cream for a tasty snack twist.
