Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
Preheating helps start the cooking process immediately, giving you that perfect crisp edge.
Step 5: Arrange and Air Fry
Spread the potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer—avoid overlapping them.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Depending on your air fryer model, you might need to adjust the timing slightly.
💡 Tip: For extra crispiness, cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, but keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once golden and crisp, remove the potato slices from the basket and transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any remaining oil.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt or your favorite seasoning on top while they’re still warm.
Serve them immediately with ketchup, sour cream, aioli, or any dipping sauce of your choice.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Potatoes
- Don’t overcrowd the basket – Cook in batches if needed to ensure each slice gets crispy.
- Dry completely before seasoning – Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
- Use the right oil – Olive oil or avocado oil are ideal for air fryer use.
- Adjust seasoning at the end – A final sprinkle of salt or Parmesan makes all the difference.
❤️ Why This Recipe Works
The magic of air frying lies in hot circulating air, which crisps up the potato edges while keeping the inside soft and tender. Soaking and drying the slices before cooking reduces starch, preventing sogginess. A thin coat of oil and even seasoning help create the perfect balance of flavor and texture—crispy, golden, and irresistible.
✨ Final Thoughts
Air fryer sliced potatoes prove that healthy eating doesn’t mean sacrificing taste or texture. They’re fast, fuss-free, and incredibly satisfying. Once you try them, they’ll easily become your go-to side dish for any occasion—crispy perfection in every bite!
