Air Fryer Potato Slices Recipe
Ingredients
- 3–4 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon dried herbs like oregano or thyme (optional)
Preparation Steps
Step 1: Wash and Slice Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into thin, even rounds (about 2–3 mm thick) to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2: Soak the Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15–20 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps make them crispier.
Step 3: Dry the Potatoes
Drain the water and pat the slices completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Cooking Instructions
Step 4: Season the Potatoes
Transfer the potato slices to a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and herbs. Toss well to coat each slice evenly.
Step 5: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3–5 minutes.
Step 6: Arrange in Basket
Place the potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed.
Step 7: Air Fry
Cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 8: Check for Doneness
The slices should be golden brown and crispy. If needed, cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with ketchup, garlic mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce. They also pair well with burgers, grilled chicken, or sandwiches.
