These air fryer sliced potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. They’re an easy side dish that pairs well with almost any meal and are ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold, Russet, or red potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Peel them if desired.
- Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch (6 mm) rounds.
- Pat the slices dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 15–20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Flavor Variations
- 🧀 Parmesan: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- 🌶️ Spicy: Add ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- 🧄 Garlic Herb: Toss with melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley after cooking.
- 🥓 Loaded: Top with shredded cheddar, crispy bacon, sour cream, and chives.
Tips
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before seasoning for extra-crispy results.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket so the hot air can circulate evenly.
- Thicker slices may need an extra 2–4 minutes of cooking time.
- Shake the basket or flip the slices halfway through for even browning.
