Tips On Air Fryer Potato Slices
- You can leave the skin on the potatoes if you prefer. If so, wash thoroughly so they are clean.
- Slice the potatoes equally or in similar sizes for even cooking.
- Don't slice the potatoes too thin as this recipe is not for potato crisps.
- If you have the time, soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes to get rid of some of the starch and crisp better.
- Adjust salt and black pepper to your taste.
- You can use other dry rubs like potato seasoning, vegetable seasoning, etc to season the potatoes before air frying.
- Don't omit the oil as it helps in cooking and crisping the potatoes.
- Don't overfill the air fryer basket. I recommend not to fill it more than a quarter. If need be, you can cook them in batches.
- Shake the air fryer basket at least once during cooking so the potatoes cook evenly.
- Air fryer temperature varies by brand, size, and wattage so when making an air fryer recipe for the first time, keep an eye on the food and check for doneness at the lowest cooking time recommended after which you can adjust accordingly.
