Here’s a simple, foolproof recipe for ultra-crispy air fryer potato slices 🥔✨
Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices
Ingredients
- 2–3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Black pepper or herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the potatoes
- Cut into ⅛–¼ inch thick slices
- Try to keep them even so they cook uniformly
- Soak (secret to crispiness)
- Soak slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes
- Removes excess starch
- Dry thoroughly
- Pat completely dry with a kitchen towel
- Moisture = soggy potatoes
- Season
- Toss with olive oil, salt, and spices
- Light coating—don’t drench
- Air fry
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
- Arrange slices in a single layer (cook in batches if needed)
- Cook 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway
- Extra crisp (optional)
- Increase to 400°F (205°C) for the last 2–3 minutes
Tips for Maximum Crisp
✔ Don’t overcrowd
✔ Thinner slices = crispier chips
✔ Russet potatoes = crunchier
✔ Add parmesan or rosemary in the last 3 minutes
Dipping Ideas
- Garlic aioli
- Ketchup + smoked paprika
- Greek yogurt + lemon + herbs
