Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes Recipe

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mandoline Slicer or Sharp Knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Paper towels

Ingredients  

  • 2 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika optional
  • Fresh herbs or grated parmesan optional for topping

Instructions 

  • Wash and slice the potatoes into ⅛ to ¼ inch rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  • Soak the slices in cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Toss with oil and seasonings in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (optional, but helps with even cooking).
  • Arrange slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
  • Cook for 12–18 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Check for doneness—they should be golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dips or as a side to any meal.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes is optional but strongly recommended for crispiness.
  • You can use red potatoes, but they’ll yield a softer texture.
  • Add grated parmesan or chili powder in the last 2 minutes for extra flavor.
  • For best results, avoid stacking slices and cook in batches if needed.
  • Great with dips like garlic aioli, ketchup, or cheese sauce.
