Using the air fryer makes them healthier while still delivering a perfect crispy texture. Whether you’re serving them as a side dish, snack, or appetizer, these seasoned potato slices are easy to make and impossible to resist.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 large potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or Red)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Potatoes

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
  • Slice them ¼-inch thick using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.

2️⃣ Soak the Potato Slices (Optional, But Recommended)

  • Place the slices in cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • Drain and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.

3️⃣ Season the Potatoes

  • In a mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

4️⃣ Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Spread the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Do not overcrowd—cook in batches if necessary.

5️⃣ Air Fry the Potatoes

  • Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
  • Shake the basket or flip the potatoes halfway through cooking.
  • Cook for another 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

✔️ For Extra Crispy Potatoes: Soak in cold water and dry completely before air frying.
✔️ For Even Cooking: Arrange slices in a single layer and shake the basket halfway through.
✔️ To Add More Flavor: Try different seasoning blends (see below).
