Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium waxy or all-purpose potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Seasonings

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and thinly slice your potatoes to about 1/8-inch thickness for even cooking. Leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients, but peeling is optional based on preference.
  2. Season the Slices: In a large bowl, toss the slices with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you choose. Make sure every slice is coated but not drenched to keep them crisp.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. Preheating ensures the potato slices start crisping the moment they hit the basket.
  4. Cook in Batches: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through to get an even golden crunch.
  5. Cool and Serve: Once crisp and golden, transfer your Air Fryer Potato Slices to a cooling rack or paper towels briefly to drain any excess oil before serving.

Notes

  • Slice uniformly using a mandoline or sharp knife to ensure even thickness and consistent cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches to avoid steaming and achieve perfect crispiness.
  • Pat the potato slices dry with a kitchen towel before seasoning to remove excess moisture for maximum crunch.
  • Flip the slices halfway through cooking to brown both sides evenly.
  • Adjust cooking time based on slice thickness; thicker slices require longer cooking, thinner slices cook faster.
