Air Fryer Potato Slices

 Air Fryer Potato Slices (Crispy & Golden)

These are crispy on the outside, tender inside, and way lighter than deep-fried potatoes. Perfect as a snack, side dish, or burger companion.

 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

• 3 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes

• 1½–2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• Optional: ½ tsp onion powder, Italian seasoning, or Cajun seasoning

• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

 Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes
   Wash and slice into ¼-inch thick rounds.
   Pat dry with paper towels (this helps crisp them up).

2. Season
   Toss slices with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated.

3. Preheat air fryer
   380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.

4. Air fry
   Arrange slices in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
   Cook 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
   Cook longer if you want them extra crispy.

5. Serve hot
   Garnish with parsley and extra salt if needed.

 Pro Tips for Maximum Crisp

• Soak slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes before cooking to remove starch. Dry thoroughly.

• Spray lightly with oil halfway through cooking.

• For ultra-crispy edges, increase to 400°F for the last 2–3 minutes.

 Flavor Variations

• Parmesan Garlic – Add grated Parmesan during last 3 minutes.

• Spicy Cajun – Toss with Cajun seasoning and a pinch of cayenne.

• Loaded Style – Top with cheese, bacon bits, and green onions after cooking.
