These Air Fryer Potato Slices are a quick and easy way to enjoy crispy, flavorful potatoes with minimal oil. Coated with a blend of smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt, these slices come out perfectly crisp and seasoned by air frying at 400°F. A healthier alternative to traditional fried potatoes, they’re ideal as a snack, side dish, or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 pound russet potatoes (equivalent to 1 very large, 2 medium, or 3 small potatoes)

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal cooking temperature for crispy potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then pat them dry. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices for even cooking and optimal crispiness, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Season the Potato Slices: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the potato slices. Toss well until all slices are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Air Fry the Potatoes: Arrange the potato slices in the air fryer basket. It’s acceptable if the slices overlap slightly. Cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking or tossing the slices every 5 minutes to promote even cooking and crispiness.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning to remove excess starch.
  • You can adjust the seasonings to taste or add other herbs like rosemary or thyme for variation.
  • Make sure to toss the slices regularly during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil or your preferred cooking oil for best flavor.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the potato slices in batches for best results.
