Description

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these air fryer sliced potatoes are a quick and delicious side dish or snack. Using minimal oil, this method brings out the natural flavor and texture of potatoes while keeping them light and healthy. Perfect for pairing with dips, seasoning variations, or serving as a side to your favorite meals!

Ingredients

2 large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (or any variety)
1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
½ tsp Italian seasoning or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly (peeling is optional).
Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture (important for crispiness).

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

In a bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and any optional seasonings.

Step 3: Air Fry the Potatoes

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure crispiness.
Air fry at 380°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the air fryer, let cool for a minute, and serve with your favorite dips like ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.

Notes

For extra crispiness: Soak the sliced potatoes in water for 15-20 minutes before cooking, then pat them completely dry.
For softer potatoes: Increase cooking time by 2-3 minutes or cook at a lower temperature (350°F).
Oil-free option: You can skip the oil, but they may not be as crispy.

Tips for Best Results

✅ Cut evenly: Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
✅ Don’t overcrowd the air fryer: Cook in batches if needed.
✅ Shake or flip halfway for even crispiness.
✅ Use different potatoes: Yukon Gold for a creamier texture, russet for a crispier bite.
