🥔✨ Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices

So Easy. So Good. So Addictive. You’ll Make Them Every Day.

“I will stop posting… maybe. But not before I give you the best potato recipe you didn’t know you needed.”

These crispy, golden, perfectly seasoned potato slices are a snack, a side dish, and a late-night craving all in one. Cooked in the air fryer with just a little oil and a lot of flavor, they come out crispy on the edges, tender in the center, and ready to be devoured.

They’re the love child of potato chips and roasted potatoes, with less guilt and more crunch.


📚 A Little Potato History

Potatoes have been around for 7,000 years, originally cultivated by the Incas of Peru. Since then, they’ve conquered the world — boiled, mashed, fried, and baked.

But today?
We air fry.
Why? Because we want crunch without deep-frying, speed without sacrifice, and flavor in every bite.

This recipe is a modern twist on the classic — fast, crispy, and full of soul.


🍽️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • ✅ Done in under 20 minutes
  • ✅ Customizable seasoning
  • ✅ Gluten-free, vegan, and snack-worthy

🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: chili flakes, dried herbs, or Parmesan
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)

🔪 Instructions

🧼 Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

  • Wash and peel (or leave skin on for rustic style)
  • Slice into ¼-inch rounds using a knife or mandoline for even thickness
  • Rinse slices in cold water to remove starch (makes them crispier)
  • Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels

🛢️ Step 2: Season

  • In a bowl, toss potato slices with:
    • Olive oil
    • Garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
  • Optional: add chili flakes for heat or Parmesan for richness

🔥 Tip: Use smoked paprika for that subtle BBQ vibe


🍽️ Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
  • Lay slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (no overlapping!)
  • Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through
  • Cook in batches if needed

🥇 Edges will be crisp, centers soft — potato slice heaven.


✨ Step 4: Finish & Serve

  • Sprinkle with chopped herbs, more salt, or a dusting of cheese
  • Serve immediately with:
    • Spicy mayo
    • Garlic aioli
    • Ketchup
    • Or just straight off the tray (zero shame)

🧠 Method & Formation

This method works because of:

  • Even slicing → uniform cooking
  • Cold water rinse → removes starch = better crunch
  • Air fryer circulation → perfect crisp without deep frying
  • Minimal oil → golden edges, not greasy

💕 For Lovers, Friends, and Late-Night Snackers
