Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices

These Air Fryer Potato Slices are perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned with garlic, paprika, and herbs. They’re an easy side dish or snack that comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

2 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

For Serving

Ketchup
Ranch dressing
Garlic aioli
Sour cream

Instructions

Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Slice them into ¼-inch (6 mm) thick rounds.
Soak the potato slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and pat the slices completely dry with paper towels.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed.
Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

Soaking the potatoes helps make them crispier.
Dry the potato slices thoroughly before seasoning.
Avoid overcrowding the basket so hot air can circulate evenly.
For extra crispiness, lightly spray the potatoes with cooking oil halfway through cooking.
