Air Fryer Potato Slices
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these Air Fryer Potato Slices are a simple and tasty side dish. You can enjoy them with just salt and oil or try different seasonings for extra flavour.
Why Use an Air Fryer Instead of an Oven?
Air fryers cook food faster than regular ovens, which saves time and energy.
They are smaller, so they use less power and heat up more quickly.
Great for busy people or families who want quick meals.
Best Potatoes to Use
For crispy slices, use the same kind of potatoes you would for chips (fries):
UK options: Maris Piper, King Edward
Good all-rounders: Estima, Melody, Marfona
US option: Yukon Gold
You can also use new potatoes—just slice them thinner so they cook faster.
To Peel or Not to Peel?
It’s totally up to you!
Leaving the skin on saves time and adds flavour.
If you peel them, keep the peelings to make Air Fryer Potato Peel Crisps.
How to Cut the Potatoes
Slice the potatoes about 0.5 cm thick.
Thinner slices cook quicker and become crispier.
Watch them closely—thin slices can burn fast!
Add More Flavours
Start simple with just oil and salt, then try these seasoning ideas:
Garlic
Herby potato seasoning
Cajun
Peri Peri
Salt & Pepper (Chinese style)
Light spices
How Many Slices Can You Cook?
It depends on the size of your air fryer.
These slices take up more space than other potato recipes, so don’t overcrowd.
If using a small fryer, cook in batches, then heat them all together at the end.
Toss the slices during cooking so they don’t stick together.
Do You Need to Preheat the Air Fryer?
Some air fryers need preheating, some don’t.
If yours does, check the potatoes a few minutes early. Hot air fryers cook faster.
Can You Use an Air Fryer Liner?
Yes, but liners may stop your slices from getting crispy.
They’re easier to clean though, so use them only if needed.
