Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes Recipe

Introduction

Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes are a must-make side dish that delivers both texture and taste. Achieve that irresistible crunch without deep-frying or hours of oven time—using only a handful of pantry staples. This recipe is a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for weeknight dinners, game day apps, or a healthier snack option, all done with ease and minimal mess.

Why This Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes Recipe Stands Out

What sets this recipe apart is its simplicity and unbeatable results. The air fryer rapidly circulates hot air to render each slice golden, crunchy, and perfectly tender inside. Slicing the potatoes evenly ensures every piece cooks uniformly—no more burnt edges or soggy centers. With just a touch of seasoning, these crispy bites let the natural, earthy potato flavor shine.

The Secret to Slicing Potatoes Evenly

Uniform slices guarantee even cooking and optimal crispness. To achieve wafer-thin or slightly thicker slices—tailored to your preference—use a precision tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This gadget makes quick work of prepping potatoes and keeps every slice consistent for perfect air frying.

Getting the Best Results in Your Air Fryer

Preheating and proper loading are crucial for crispy results. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer, with slight overlap if needed, in a generously-sized basket like that of the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt. The roomy surface allows air to circulate freely, promoting even browning on all sides.

For easy cleanup and nonstick results, line your air fryer basket with an Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs, 8” Square by Baker’s Signature. These liners save time and hassle, ensuring all potato slices release easily and your basket stays clean.

Serving and Storing Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Crispy air fryer potatoes are best hot out of the basket. Serve on your favorite platter alongside dipping sauces, or enjoy straight from the air fryer. If you have leftovers, store them in airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to preserve their crunch—reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
