🥔 Sliced Potatoes (Crispy & Easy)

Thinly sliced potatoes cooked in the air fryer until golden and crispy on the outside, tender inside. Perfect as a side, snack, or healthier alternative to fries.

🧾 Ingredients

• 2–3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet work best)
• 1–2 tsp olive oil (optional but helps crispiness)
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper
• Optional seasonings:
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Onion powder
  • Italian seasoning

🔪 Prep

1. Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes
2. Slice into thin rounds (about ⅛–¼ inch thick)
   👉 Try to keep slices even so they cook evenly

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
2. Season
   Toss slices with oil, salt, and spices
3. Arrange in basket
   • Single layer is best
   • Slight overlap is okay, but don’t overcrowd
4. Air fry
   • Cook 12–15 minutes
   • Shake or flip halfway through
5. Finish crisping
   Add 2–3 more minutes if you want extra crispy edges

🔥 Tips for Best Results

• Soak slices in cold water 10–20 mins → removes starch = crispier
• Pat them completely dry before cooking
• Don’t overcrowd—cook in batches if needed
• Thinner slices = crispier chips
• Thicker slices = softer, roasted-style potatoes

❓ Q&A

❓ Do I need oil?

No—but a small amount helps them crisp and brown better.

❓ Why are my potatoes not crispy?

• Too crowded
• Too much moisture
• Slices too thick
• Not enough cooking time

❓ Can I make them like chips?

Yes!

• Slice super thin
• Cook at 350°F a bit longer
• Watch closely so they don’t burn

❓ Can I use sweet potatoes?

Absolutely—same method, just add 2–3 extra minutes.
