Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Crispy, flavorful Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes made with minimal oil and simple seasonings for a quick, healthier comfort food side dish, perfect alongside grilled meats, salads, or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and sliced 1/4 inch thick

Seasonings

  • 12 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Additions

  • Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • Shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese (for cheesy variation)
  • Chili powder or cayenne pepper (for spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice them evenly into about 1/4 inch thick slices to ensure they cook uniformly and get that perfect crisp.
  2. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure every slice is lightly coated for the best flavor and crispiness.
  3. Preheat and Arrange in the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them to allow hot air circulation.
  4. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection: Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and potato thickness.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer and serve hot. Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs or a little extra salt right before serving for added brightness.

Notes

  • Slice evenly using a mandoline or sharp knife to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.
  • Flip or shake the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Dry potatoes well before seasoning to help oil and spices adhere and improve crispiness.
  • Season potatoes immediately before air frying to prevent them from drawing out moisture.
