Air Fryer Potato Slices (Sliced Potatoes In Air Fryer)

Air fryer potato slices are quick sides and even snacks for kids. This is too good to make in the air fryer. These sliced potatoes can be baked in the air fryer or in the oven too.

Air fryer sliced potatoes are the best sides for any menu. These are air fryer fried potatoes or potato slices. I loved sliced potatoes and used to make them on the skillet before I tried them making in my air fryer. But with the air fryer, we can make it with much less oil and no need to babysit them too. You can make the slices thin or thick. This is too delicious with a few ingredients (4 ingredients) and in less time as well.

Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Sliced potatoes are like thick potato chips. These are so versatile and perfect to add to any menu, i.e. as an appetizer with a dip, as a side dish with any stew, in big bowls, etc.

Sliced potatoes are easy to make anyway. There are three ways you can make the sliced potatoes, i.e. on a stovetop skillet, oven-baked, or air fryer. In any of the ways, there is no need to precook the potatoes.

However, if you are making this on the skillet and chopping them thicker, it's recommended to steam it for a few minutes (2 min max) to reduce the cooking time. If the thickness is up to 1 - 1.5 cm, then you can directly fry them in the skillet on low heat. It may require little attention and time to make on a skillet than in an air fryer.

How to make air fryer potato slices?

Ingredients list:

Potatoes - Any potatoes will be good. Though cooking time may be slightly different.

Seasonings - Paprika, garlic powder, salt. You can add any of your favorite herb mix or spice mix for any specific flavor.

Oil spray - You can take either olive oil or avocado oil to give a light spray on the slices. Oil gives a crispier texture though.

Oil-free substitute -

To make the sliced potatoes completely oil-free, substitute oil with vegetable broth. In a small bowl, take 2 tbsp broth and add spices to it. Mix. Now brush the slices on both sides with the spice mix.

Instructions -

Preparation for air fryer potato slices

Slice potatoes into roughly 0.5 cm - 1 cm thickness. Place them in a bowl filled with water. Wash and rinse the slices once or twice to remove excess starch. Then immerse the slices in cold water for 20 - 30 minutes. This will make the slices a little crispier and hold the texture.

Now remove the slices out of the water and pat them dry using a paper napkin or kitchen towel. Now drizzle the salt and spices. Gently rub the potatoes with spices coating them nicely.

Air Fry The Potato Slices

Brush the air fryer basket slightly with a little olive oil. Add seasonings and a drizzle of olive oil over the slices. Toss to season the slices.

Preheat the air fryer to 375 F (190 C) for 3 minutes.

Then arrange the seasoned potato slices in the basket.

Next, start the air fryer at 375 F or 190 C for 6 - 8 minutes depending on their thickness. Check and flip the slices at around 4 minutes (shake the basket).

Thicker potato slices of 1 cm - 2 cm take 10 - 12 minutes at 400 F to air fry to crispy.

Extra Tips For Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Keep the skin on. After cutting the potato into slices, wash and rinse the slices to remove starch. Then soak in cold water for 20 - 30 minutes for crispier potato slices.

If you are making these potato slices in the air fryer, precooking is not at all necessary. However, the starchy potatoes take a little longer than less-starchy potatoes. So the timing may vary depending on the size of the potato slices, the type of potatoes, and last but not least on type and size of the air fryers.

Note - Don't stalk them one on one (sticking to each other) if arranging another layer. But I will recommend making them in a layer only and if making in large quantity, then make in batches.

If you cut them at the thickness shown in the instruction picture above, i.e. appx 0.5 cm (half a cm), 8 minutes is enough (check at the 4-minute mark). But if they are 1 cm or more in thickness, make the timing for 10 minutes at 400F (200F).

Flipping the potatoes in the midway is not compulsory though since they will be cooked evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to remove the skin of the potatoes?

Not at all. You don't need to remove the skin of the potatoes. Skins taste great in such fried potatoes, no matter how are cooked. Also, the skin contains many vitamins and minerals too. So it's always good to keep the skin on the potatoes. Also, it holds the shape of the potatoes in slices. However, you can peel off the skin you wish to.
