Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Step 2: Slice the Potatoes
Scrub potatoes well (peeling is optional). Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds. A mandoline makes quick work of this and ensures even slices, but a sharp knife works too.
Pro tip: Uniform thickness is key for even cooking.
Step 3: Season
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with:
-
Olive oil
-
Salt
-
Pepper
-
Garlic powder
-
Paprika (if using)
Toss until every slice is evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange in Air Fryer
Place the potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overlap—they need space to crisp. Cook in batches if needed.
Step 5: Air Fry
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the potatoes halfway through. Cooking time depends on thickness and your air fryer model.
Check at 10 minutes: They should be golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 6: Serve
Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with additional salt or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
