Step 2: Season the Slices
- Place the potato slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the slices.
- Toss again to ensure each slice is coated with the seasoning.
Tip: For even crispier slices, avoid overcrowding them in the bowl or air fryer basket.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes. Preheating ensures a crispy exterior right from the start.
Step 4: Air Fry the Potatoes
- Place the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid stacking them, or they may steam instead of crisping.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Check for doneness: the slices should be golden brown and crispy on the edges, while soft in the center.
Tip: Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of your slices.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the potato slices from the air fryer and place them on a plate.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra salt if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy. They pair perfectly with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Pro Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Potato Slices:
- Consistency is key: Try to slice potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
- Dry the slices well: Any excess moisture can prevent crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd: Air needs space to circulate for that signature crunch.
- Customize flavors: Add onion powder, smoked paprika, or Parmesan for variety.
These air fryer potato slices are not only quick and easy but also versatile. Whether for a cozy snack, a party side dish, or a simple weeknight dinner addition, they deliver crispy satisfaction every time.
