Air Fryer Potato Slices are a quick, easy, and crispy snack or side dish made by air frying thinly sliced potatoes to golden perfection with minimal oil. This healthy and versatile recipe offers a satisfying crunch without the grease of deep frying, customizable with a variety of seasonings and perfect for family-friendly snacking or pairing with meals.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized firm potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russets)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

Optional Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. Slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, to balance crispy edges and tender centers. Peeling is optional, as the skin adds texture and nutrients.
  2. Season the Slices: Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or rosemary. Toss gently to coat each slice thoroughly for consistent flavor.
  3. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper hot air circulation for even crispiness.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook the slices for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to promote even browning. Monitor closely near the end to prevent burning as cooking times can vary.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the slices are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Allow them to cool slightly and serve immediately as a snack or side dish with your favorite dips or main meals.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife for evenly sliced potatoes to ensure consistent cooking.
  • Pat potato slices dry before adding oil to help the oil stick and improve crispiness.
  • Arrange slices in a single layer to avoid sogginess and ensure hot air flows around each piece.
  • Flip potato slices halfway through cooking for even golden browning.
  • Watch cooking time closely, as thinner slices cook faster and can burn.
  • Leftover slices can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze cooked slices on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
