Why This Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes Recipe Works

The magic of this recipe lies in the air fryer’s ability to circulate heat, producing irresistible crispiness on every slice. Using the right thickness and technique, you get potatoes that are both beautifully browned and tender inside—no greasy mess, no lengthy pre-soaking, and no fuss. It’s adaptable for any seasoning blend, so you can customize to suit your taste.

Selecting and Slicing the Potatoes

Consistent, thin slices are the secret to crispy perfection. For the best (and safest) results, use a reliable Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to get even slices in seconds, which ensures every piece cooks uniformly. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes both work well, providing fluffiness inside and crispness outside.

Rinse the sliced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch for even better crunch, then pat dry with kitchen towels before seasoning.

Prepping Your Air Fryer and Potatoes

Preheat your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey for a few minutes to ensure the potatoes hit hot air as soon as they’re in. Toss your slices in a mixing bowl with olive oil (or use an TrendPlain 16oz/470ml Olive Oil Sprayer for Cooking, Black), salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices—think garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary. If desired, line the basket with Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs, 8” Square by Baker’s Signature for fast, mess-free cleanup.

Arrange the sliced potatoes in a single layer, overlapping as little as possible for maximum crisp.

Serving Suggestions for Crispy Sliced Potatoes

Serve your finished potato slices hot, garnished with chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon for brightness. They pair beautifully with a homemade dip—try Greek yogurt mixed with chives, or a spicy aioli whipped up in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black for ultra-smooth results.

For easy storage or picnics, transport leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to keep your potatoes crisp.
