Description
Crispy and golden Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes make a perfect easy side dish or snack. These thinly sliced potatoes are lightly seasoned and quickly cooked in the air fryer for a healthier alternative to traditional fried potatoes, delivering a crispy exterior and tender interior in just under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 large potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or Red)
Seasoning
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired for a smoother texture, then slice them evenly into ¼-inch thick rounds to ensure uniform cooking.
- Season the Slices: Place the potato slices in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings such as garlic powder or paprika. Toss well to coat all slices evenly.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal cooking temperature.
- Arrange the Slices: Place the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket to promote even air circulation and uniform crisping of the potatoes.
- Cook: Air fry the potato slices for 18 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking process to turn the slices and ensure they become golden and crisp on all sides.
- Serve: Once cooked to a golden brown and crispy outside with a tender inside, remove the potato slices from the air fryer and serve immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
Notes
- Use uniform slices for even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to get crispy potatoes.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences.
- Russet potatoes give a fluffier interior, Yukon Gold offer a buttery flavor, and red potatoes hold shape well.
- For extra crispiness, soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and air frying.
