- Toss the thinly sliced potatoes in a bowl with olive oil or melted butter and garlic powder until they’re well-coated.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure crispiness on all sides.

Best ways to enjoy it
Serve your air-fried sliced potatoes as a side dish with grilled meats, or enjoy them as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce. They’re fantastic paired with a fresh salad for a balanced meal, or make a delightful addition to a hearty breakfast alongside eggs and bacon.
How to store
To keep your leftovers fresh, store the cooled sliced potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them, but note that the texture may change upon reheating. To reheat, simply pop them back into the air fryer for a few minutes to revive their crispiness.
Tips to make
- Cutting Technique: Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking. A mandoline can help achieve this.
- Air Fryer Specifics: Every air fryer cooks a bit differently, so keep an eye on your potatoes towards the end of cooking to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
