Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
- Preheating ensures that the potato slices start crisping immediately and prevents soggy results.
Step 4: Arrange the Slices
- Place the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Avoid overlapping as much as possible—this ensures maximum crispiness.
- If necessary, cook in batches.
Step 5: Air Fry the Potatoes
- Cook the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
- About halfway through, shake the basket or use tongs to flip the slices so they cook evenly on both sides.
- Check the potatoes after 10 minutes; cooking time can vary depending on thickness and potato type.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Once golden and crispy, remove the potato slices from the air fryer.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately as a side dish, snack, or even a base for toppings like cheese, sour cream, or bacon bits.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Air needs to circulate around each slice to make them crispy.
- Use oil sparingly: A thin coat is enough; too much can make them soggy.
- Experiment with flavors: Try parmesan cheese, chili powder, or Italian seasoning for variety.
- Even slicing is key: Consider using a mandoline slicer to get uniform slices.
Air fryer sliced potatoes are simple, versatile, and healthier than deep-fried alternatives. In just 15 minutes, you get a crunchy, golden snack or side dish that pairs perfectly with anything from burgers to grilled chicken. Once you try this method, it’s likely to become a go-to in your weekly meal rotation.
