Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices are a simple yet delicious snack or side dish made with thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes seasoned with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Air fried to golden perfection, these crispy slices offer a healthier alternative to traditional fried potato chips with minimal oil and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced (about ⅛-inch thick)

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper or cayenne for a spicy kick

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the potatoes.
  2. Prep the Potatoes: Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly, about ⅛-inch thick. Soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness. After soaking, pat the slices dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Season the Slices: In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon sea salt until the slices are evenly coated. Add a pinch of black pepper or cayenne if you prefer a spicy kick.
  4. Arrange and Air Fry: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking; cook in batches if necessary. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, remove the potato slices from the air fryer and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, creamy ranch, or spicy mayo. Garnish with fresh chives or dill for added flavor and color.

Notes

  • Soaking the potato slices in cold water is key to removing starch and achieving maximum crispiness.
  • Make sure to dry the slices thoroughly before seasoning to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange slices in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy texture and excellent flavor; however, Russet potatoes can be substituted.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, and add spices like black pepper or cayenne for heat if desired.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture as these slices may soften if left out too long.
