Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes are the perfect solution for anyone craving a crispy, delicious snack or side dish without the guilt of deep frying. This recipe combines the comforting essence of roasted potatoes with the convenience of the air fryer, making it an ideal choice for busy weeknights or quick lunch ideas.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 large russet or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and sliced thinly (about 1/8 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for a higher smoke point)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet, based on preference)
1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, oregano, or rosemary)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into thin rounds, aiming for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potato slices are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps achieve that crispy texture.
Arrange the seasoned sliced potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the edges. If needed, add an additional 2-3 minutes cooking time, checking frequently.
Once cooked, remove the sliced potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack, side dish, or as a part of your air fryer comfort food repertoire!
