Description
Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes are golden, crispy, and flavorful potato slices cooked quickly with minimal oil for a healthier alternative to traditional frying. Perfect as a snack or side dish, they deliver tender insides with a crunchy exterior and can be customized with various seasonings and toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Oil
- 2–3 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt while keeping the skin on for extra texture. Slice them evenly into about 1/8-inch thick rounds to ensure uniform cooking.
- Season the Slices: Place the potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to coat. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using) over the slices. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lay the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to allow hot air circulation for even crisping.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 12-15 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through cooking to promote even browning. Watch closely near the end to reach desired crispiness.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the golden, crispy potatoes from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato thickness for even cooking and crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
- Pat dry potato slices after cutting to remove excess moisture, helping them crisp better.
- Use just enough oil to lightly coat slices; too much oil can lead to sogginess.
- Air fryer models vary; check potatoes a few minutes before cooking ends to prevent burning.
