Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes
Servings: 4

4 large potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or any starchy potato works well)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (such as Italian seasoning, thyme, or rosemary)
½ teaspoon salt

Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. No need to peel unless you prefer skinless potatoes.

Slice the potatoes into ½ cm-thick rounds for even cooking.

Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of water as you slice them. This helps remove excess starch, which promotes crispiness.

Dry the Potatoes:
Once all the potatoes are sliced, drain them and pat them completely dry using kitchen paper or a clean towel. Removing moisture is key to achieving crispy results.

Season the Potatoes:
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried potato slices with olive oil , garlic granules , dried mixed herbs , and salt . Toss until the slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Air Fry the Potatoes:
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 2–3 minutes if required by your model.

Arrange the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer , ensuring they don’t overlap. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.

Cook for 18 minutes , shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping. If needed, continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes for extra crispness.

Serve:
Transfer the golden, crispy potato slices to a plate.

Serve immediately as a side dish or snack. Pair with dipping sauces like ketchup, garlic aioli, or sour cream for added flavor.



Pro Tips
Potato Choice: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture. Waxy potatoes may not crisp up as well.

Herb Variations: Experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika, onion powder, or chili flakes for a unique twist.

Double Batch: If cooking for a crowd, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, which can lead to steaming instead of crisping.

Storage: These potatoes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days . Reheat in the air fryer or oven for crispiness.
