How Long to Cook Sliced Potatoes in the Air Fryer
This is going to depend on the make and model of your air fryer and the thickness of the potatoes.
If they’re sliced to ¼-inch thickness, it should only take about 15 minutes to get super crispy potato slices in the air fryer.
You want the outsides to be crunchy and golden-brown while the insides should be melt-in-your-mouth soft.
If they aren’t quite crispy enough, let them keep cooking for another minute or two.
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes
- Ensure the potato slices are evenly coated in the oil and seasoning mix to maximize flavor and get the best results.
- Lay the potato slices in the air fryer in as close to a single layer as possible. A little overlap is okay.
- Always flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time so they can crisp up on all sides as the hot air circulates.
- Serve air fried potato slices right away! You want them to be hot and crispy right out of the fryer.
- To store leftover potato slices, let them cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat sliced potatoes in the air fryer at 380 degrees F until crispy and heated all the way through.
