Easy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes Recipe Tips

- Even Slices: Slice them into even slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Coating With Oil: In order for you to get a crispy plate of air fryer sliced potatoes, it’s important that you highly coat them with oil. With the hot air that circulates in the air fryer basket, it will help crisp the potatoes up!
- Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different it’s important that you check on your sliced potatoes frequently as they cook up. Remember to flip halfway during the cooking process, and remove the potatoes when they are fork-tender!
Storing Instructions
- Storing: Let the potatoes cool completely, then store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze them, but the texture will soften after thawing. If you must, place them in a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 2 months.
- Reheating:Pop them back in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes until hot and crisp again. Skip the microwave unless you enjoy sad, soggy potatoes.
Easy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes Recipe Faqs
What is the best way to slice the potatoes? To ensure even cooking, slice the potatoes into uniform discs (like coins) about 1/4 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for this, but a sharp knife will also work.
What kind of oil should I use? Use a high smoke point oil, such as avocado oil, vegetable oil, or olive oil. A small amount is enough to help the seasonings stick and achieve crispness.
How do I season the sliced potatoes? After drying the soaked slices completely, toss them in a bowl with oil, salt, pepper, and your preferred spices (garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, or Italian seasoning). Make sure they are evenly coated
.How long should they cook in the air fryer? Sliced potatoes typically cook for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees F. You must shake the basket every 5–7 minutes to ensure all sides crisp up evenly.
How do I stop them from sticking and clumping? The main tricks are: 1) Dry the slices thoroughly after soaking, and 2) Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook them in a loose layer, even if you have to do two batches.
