Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 medium-sized firm potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, cut them into uniform slices about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Season the Slices: Place the potato slices in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over them. Toss gently to coat each slice evenly, making sure every piece gets its share of seasoning.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lay the seasoned potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding for optimal air circulation. Depending on your air fryer’s size, you may need to cook in batches.
- Air Fry Until Crispy: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the slices for 12 to 15 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through to promote even browning. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning and achieve your desired crispness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices from the basket and transfer onto a serving plate. Add extra seasoning if needed, then dig in while warm for the ultimate crunchy snack or side dish.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer or very sharp knife for uniform slices that cook evenly and crisp perfectly.
- Pat potato slices dry before seasoning to prevent sogginess and improve crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; allow space for air circulation.
- Flip slices halfway through cooking for even browning and crispness on both sides.
- Adjust cooking time for thicker slices, watching texture and color closely.
