Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium potatoes washed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: dried herbs like oregano or parsley

Instructions
 

Wash and dry potatoes

  • Clean the potatoes well under cool water. Dry fully using paper towels so oil and spices stick nicely during cooking.

Slice the potatoes evenly

  • Cut thin even slices using a knife or mandoline carefully. Try to keep similar thickness so the slices cook evenly and become crispy together.

Soak the slices in water

  • Place slices in cold water for ten minutes to remove extra starch. This simple step helps get better crisp texture while air frying.

Dry the slices completely

  • Drain the water and pat slices dry with paper towels well. Moisture causes steaming not crisping, so be sure the slices feel dry.

Season the potato slices

  • Add slices to a bowl with olive oil and spices. Toss gently until each slice is coated evenly with oil and seasoning mix.

Preheat the air fryer

  • Set air fryer to 375°F or 190°C for a few minutes. Preheating helps quicker crisping and more even cooking of every potato slice.

Arrange slices in basket

  • Place seasoned slices in one layer inside basket. Do not overcrowd or stack slices because airflow is important for crispy results always.

Cook and flip halfway

  • Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip slices halfway through cooking time so both sides turn evenly brown and crunchy.

Check doneness and adjust time

  • Thicker slices may need extra minutes in air fryer. Cook until soft inside and crispy outside just as you like best.

Serve hot and enjoy

  • Remove from basket carefully and serve at once. Hot air fryer sliced potatoes taste best fresh with dips like ketchup or garlic mayo.

Notes

  • Cut slices evenly for the best crisp texture
  • Do not overcrowd the basket
  • Soak slices to remove extra starch
  • Dry potatoes fully before seasoning
  • Shake basket during cooking for even browning
  • Add chili flakes for heat
  • Use sweet potatoes for a fun twist
