Enjoy crispy, flavorful air fryer potato slices made with thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes seasoned with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt. This simple recipe delivers perfectly crunchy potato chips without deep frying, using just olive oil and your air fryer for a healthier snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced (about ⅛-inch thick)

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper or cayenne for a spicy kick

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to preheat. Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and slice them thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform thickness. Soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness.
  2. Season the Slices: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt until all slices are evenly coated. Add black pepper or cayenne if you prefer some heat.
  3. Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook in batches. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the crispy potato slices immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup, creamy ranch, or spicy mayo. Garnish with fresh chives or dill for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • Soaking the potato slices in cold water helps remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
  • Make sure to pat the slices dry thoroughly before air frying to avoid soggy chips.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
  • You can experiment with different seasonings like onion powder, chili powder, or herbs.
  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin slices that cook evenly.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 2 days but best eaten fresh.
