Introduction

Air fryer sliced potatoes are a quick and delicious side dish that delivers crispy, golden edges with minimal effort. Perfectly seasoned and easy to customize, they make a great complement to any meal or a tasty snack on their own.

Ingredients

• 3 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (about 1.3 lbs), thinly sliced, skin-on or peeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning, optional)
• Optional toppings:
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. You can leave the skins on for extra texture and fiber or peel them if you prefer. Slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
2. Step 2: (Optional) Soak the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 5 to 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them completely dry.
3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried herbs until they are evenly coated.
4. Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2 minutes.
5. Step 5: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Slightly overlap if needed, but avoid overcrowding.
6. Step 6: Air fry the potatoes for 10 minutes. Then, flip the slices or shake the basket and continue cooking for another 2 to 4 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crisp at the edges.
7. Step 7: Remove the crispy slices as they finish cooking and let the remaining slices continue crisping. If you notice sticking, shake the basket halfway through cooking.
8. Step 8: Transfer the cooked potatoes to a plate and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dip.
