4. Season the potatoes

In a large bowl, add the sliced potatoes and:

Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Garlic powder

Mix everything well so each slice is lightly coated. Don’t overload with oil—just enough to help crisping.

5. Preheat the air fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F) for about 3–5 minutes.

This helps the potatoes start crisping immediately when they go in.

6. Arrange in the basket

Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Important tips:

Don’t stack too much (cook in batches if needed)
Leave space for air circulation

This is the key to crispiness.

7. Air fry

Cook at 190°C (375°F) for 12–18 minutes, depending on thickness.

Halfway through:

Shake the basket OR flip the slices
This ensures even browning

They’re done when:

Golden brown edges appear
The texture is crispy outside and tender inside

8. Serve immediately

Let them cool for 1–2 minutes (they crisp up more as they sit), then serve.

You can enjoy them with:

Ketchup or mayo
Garlic dip or ranch
Cheese sauce
Spicy chili sauce

🔥 Pro Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Potatoes

✔ Don’t overcrowd the basket

Air circulation is what makes them crispy. Too many slices = steamed potatoes instead of crispy ones.

✔ Dry potatoes well

Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

✔ Use high-starch potatoes

Russet potatoes give the crispiest results.

✔ Adjust thickness

Thinner slices cook faster and get crunchier.

✔ Add cornstarch (optional trick)

Lightly dusting with 1 teaspoon cornstarch before seasoning can make them extra crispy.

🍽️ Variations You Can Try

Cheesy potatoes: Add parmesan in the last 2 minutes
Spicy version: Add chili powder or cayenne pepper
Herb style: Mix rosemary, thyme, and olive oil
Vinegar chips style: Add a splash of vinegar before seasoning
