Crispy, golden, and made with just a few simple ingredients
Air fryer potato slices are the perfect balance between comfort food and smart cooking. They’re thin, crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and use far less oil than traditional frying. Whether you serve them as a snack, side dish, or quick appetizer, they’re easy, affordable, and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes (you can leave the skin on if you prefer extra texture). - Slice Evenly
Slice the potatoes thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Keeping the slices uniform helps them cook evenly. - Soak for Crispiness
Place the slices in a bowl of cold water and soak for 15–20 minutes. This removes excess starch and improves crispiness. - Dry Thoroughly
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. - Season
Transfer slices to a dry bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until all slices are evenly coated. - Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat to 180°C (350°F) for about 3 minutes. - Air Fry
Arrange potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding—cook in batches if needed.
Air fry for 10–15 minutes, flipping or shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy. - Serve
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack or side dish.
Tips & Tricks
- Don’t skip the soaking step—it makes a big difference
- Dry slices well to avoid sogginess
- Thin, even slices cook faster and crisp better
- Try seasoning swaps: chili powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, or Cajun spice
