TABLE OF CONTENTS
Ingredients
Fresh Potatoes
Almost any kind of potato is good for preparing this recipe.
I used Yukon Gold Potatoes, which are semi-starchy and semi-waxy potatoes, but red potatoes, king edwards, maris piper potatoes, as well as sweet potatoes also fit well for this recipe.
Oil
We would only need little oil to get super crispy sliced potatoes.
I used extra virgin olive oil, but avocado oil is fine.
Seasoning
You can indulge in spices to create potatoes with a different flavor each time.
Below I give some ideas.
Meanwhile, for these I used salt and black pepper, Italian spices and garlic (you can use garlic powder or also fresh garlic).

How To Make These Air Fryer Potato Slices
Step 1
You can leave or remove the potato skins.
Wash the potatoes well under running water if you do not want to peel them.
Then, dry them by patting them dry with a clean cloth.
Slice them into round slices with a sharp knife on a chopping board, making slices of the thickness you want: the thinner they are, the faster they will cook.
I gave the potatoes a thickness of about 1/4-inch.
Put them in a bowl with cold water for at least half (optional) an hour for optimal cooking and a unique crispness.
Step 2
After soaking the potatoes in cold water, rinse them and dry them well with a paper towel.
Transfer them to a large bowl and season with the oil and spices.
Mix well and meanwhile preheat the air fryer for two minutes.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the basket, and cook for about 13 to 15 minutes until golden brown, shaking the basket occasionally.
Serve hot with a little salt on top and enjoy.

Storage & Reheating Leftovers
If you have leftover potatoes, store them in an airtight container or a sealable container for up to three days.
Sliced potatoes can be reheated in the air fryer or in the oven.
I don’t recommend reheating them in the microwave, as you would lose the crispness
Reheat In The Air Fryer: Lay the potatoes in the basket of the air fryer. Set the fryer to 360 degrees F and air fry for 3/4 minutes.
Reheat In The Oven: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.

Nothing, at most the result will be less crispy.
If you don’t have time to soak the potatoes I recommend using waxy potatoes that contain less starch such as New potatoes, French fingerling or Red Bliss.
The minimum soaking time for potatoes is half an hour to a maximum of 2 hours.
Change the water if you want to leave them for longer.
In the preheated air fryer, cook the sliced potatoes at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes.
Always check the potatoes during cooking. Potato cooking times may vary depending on the size of your air fryer.
