Air Fryer Potato Slices, Crispy

Here’s how to make extra-crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices—golden on the outside, tender inside, and super easy 🥔✨

Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices

Ingredients

• 2–3 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold)

• 1–1½ tablespoons olive oil

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• Optional: Parmesan cheese, parsley, or chili flakes

Instructions

1. Slice potatoes

   • Wash and slice into ¼-inch thick rounds (try to keep them even).

2. Soak (important for crispiness!)

   • Soak slices in cold water 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch.

   • Drain and pat very dry with paper towels.

3. Season

   • Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper.

4. Air fry

   • Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

   • Arrange slices in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).

   • Air fry 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

5. Finish & serve

   • Sprinkle with Parmesan or herbs if desired.

   • Serve immediately while hot.

Pro Tips for Extra Crunch

• Don’t overcrowd the basket

• Dry potatoes very well after soaking

• Add a tiny pinch of cornstarch before air frying for max crispiness

Flavor Variations

• Cheesy: Parmesan + garlic

• Spicy: Cayenne or chili powder

• Ranch-style: Ranch seasoning after cooking
