Sliced Potatoes

Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Crispy Outside, Tender Inside

If you love roasted potatoes but want them faster, healthier, and even crispier, these air fryer sliced potatoes are about to become your new go-to side dish. They come out perfectly golden, lightly seasoned, and surprisingly light—without the need for deep-frying or heating up your whole kitchen.

Ready in under 20 minutes, they’re just as good next to a weekday steak or burger as they are alongside breakfast eggs or a backyard BBQ spread. Once you try them, you’ll be hooked.

Why This Recipe Works

• Perfect texture – crispy, golden edges with a soft, buttery interior

• Fast – ready in about 20 minutes with no oven preheating

• Healthier – uses less oil than traditional roasting or frying

• Versatile – easy to season your way, from simple salt and pepper to smoked paprika or Parmesan

Ingredients

• 3 medium russet potatoes (about 1½ lbs), thinly sliced (⅛–¼ inch thick)

• 1½ tablespoons olive oil

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Optional garnish: chopped parsley, shredded Parmesan, or flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Slice them evenly into thin rounds (a mandoline helps for uniform thickness). Pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture—this ensures crispy edges.

2. Season

In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until every piece is lightly coated.

3. Arrange in the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the basket. Slight overlap is fine, but avoid overcrowding.

4. Air Fry

Cook for 9–10 minutes, then shake the basket or flip the slices. Continue air frying for another 8–10 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and crispy around the edges.

5. Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley or Parmesan while still warm. Serve as a side dish with burgers, steak, eggs, or your favorite main course.

Enjoy your perfectly crispy, tender air fryer potatoes!
