Air fryer potato slices are the perfect combo of crispy edges + soft centers — basically potato chips’ thicker, more satisfying cousin. Here’s how to make them just right:
🥔 Air Fryer Potato Slices
Ingredients:
-
2 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil
-
Salt & pepper (to taste)
-
Optional: garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, or Parmesan
Instructions:
-
Prep the Potatoes:
-
Wash and slice potatoes into 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick rounds.
-
(Optional but highly recommended) Soak slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch — this makes them crispier!
-
Drain, pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
-
-
Season:
-
Toss slices in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any seasonings you like.
-
-
Air Fry:
-
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
-
Place slices in a single layer in the basket (you may need to do batches).
-
Air fry for 10–15 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway.
-
Thinner slices = crispier, faster
-
Thicker = softer centers, golden edges
-
-
-
Serve:
-
Sprinkle with extra salt or Parmesan while hot.
-
Serve with dips like garlic aioli, ranch, or ketchup.
-
🔁 Variations:
-
Spicy: Add cayenne, chili powder, or hot sauce drizzle.
-
Cheesy: Add grated cheese in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
-
Loaded: Top with sour cream, green onions, bacon bits after air frying.
