Why You’ll Love These Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

If you’ve never had air-fried sliced potatoes, prepare yourself for a little kitchen magic! They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. Plus, they’re quick—like, “I need snacks now!” quick. And did I mention that using an air fryer cuts down on oil, making this a slightly healthier choice for your family? Double win!

Ingredients

Before we dive into the cooking adventure, let’s gather our ingredients. You’ll need:

4 medium-sized potatoes (Russets are fantastic, but go with what you love!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder (because garlic is life)
1 teaspoon paprika (for that fabulous color)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional but classy!)

Steps to Deliciousness

Prep the Potatoes: Start by washing and slicing your potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds. Don’t fret if they aren’t perfect circles—this isn’t a pottery class!
Oil and Season: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss them around until they’re evenly coated. In my house, this is where the kids love to help—though I often find more seasoning on the floor than in the bowl!
Air Frying Time: Transfer your potato slices to the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re in a single layer for optimal air circulation (we want crispiness, folks!). Set the temperature to 380°F and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, giving them a shake halfway through to flip those beauties.
Serving: Once golden and crispy, remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy. And don’t forget to taste-test! (Quality control, you know?)

Cooking Tips

Don’t Overcrowd: If you have a large batch, it’s better to cook in batches. Crowding the basket can lead to sogginess, and we want crispy, not squishy!
Make It Your Own: The best part? Customize the seasoning! Want some heat? Add a dash of cayenne. Feeling earthy? Try some rosemary or thyme.
Save Some for Later?: Air-fried potatoes are best fresh, but if you have leftovers (a rare occurrence in my house), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Just reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp up again.
