Rispy air fryer potato slices

Absolutely! Let’s make crispy air fryer potato slices that are golden, crunchy on the outside, and soft inside. I’ll give you a detailed, step-by-step recipe.

Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices Recipe

Ingredients (for 2-3 servings)

• 3 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)

• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (or any cooking oil)

• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color & flavor)

• ½ teaspoon dried herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes

1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.

2. Peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra crispiness and nutrients.

3. Slice the potatoes evenly—about ¼ inch thick. Try to make all slices uniform so they cook evenly.

2. Soak the slices

1. Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water.

2. Let them soak for 20–30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up better.

3. Drain the water and pat the slices completely dry with a kitchen towel. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!

3. Season the potatoes

1. Transfer the dry potato slices to a large mixing bowl.

2. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and herbs.

3. Toss gently until all slices are coated evenly.

4. Preheat the air fryer

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.

5. Air fry the potato slices

1. Place the slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd them; cook in batches if needed.

2. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.

3. Shake or flip halfway through the cooking (around 8–10 minutes) to ensure even crisping.

4. Check at 15 minutes: the edges should be golden and crispy, and the centers should be tender. Cook a few extra minutes if needed.

6. Serve

1. Transfer the crispy slices to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

2. Sprinkle a little extra salt or herbs on top if you like.

3. Serve immediately with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dip!

Tips for Extra Crispy Potato Slices

• Use starchy potatoes (Russet) for better crunch.

• Don’t skip the soaking step—it really makes a difference.

• Ensure slices are even thickness; thin slices crisp faster, thicker slices stay soft inside.

• Lightly spray oil instead of tossing if you want fewer calories but still some crispiness.
