🔥 How to Make Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes
- Wash & Slice: Scrub the potatoes clean and slice them evenly, about ¼ inch thick.
- Soak (optional): For extra crispiness, soak slices in cold water for 15–20 minutes, then pat dry.
- Season: Toss slices in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and seasonings. Coat them evenly.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange slices in a single layer (avoid overlap) and cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve: Sprinkle with fresh herbs or a pinch of sea salt right before serving.

Chili Flakes: For a little kick!
Ranch or Sour Cream Dip: The perfect creamy pairing.
💡 Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Potatoes
Don’t overcrowd the basket — work in batches if needed.
Shake or flip the potatoes halfway for even crispiness.
For extra crunch, let them rest 2–3 minutes before serving — they crisp up as they cool!
