    How to slice potatoes

    You can slice potatoes with or without the skin and you can either use a knife or a mandolin. 

    Using a knife: Place the potato on a chopping board and slice downwards towards the chopping board to your desired thickness starting from the tip to the end of the potato.

    Using a Mandoline slicer: For your safety, focus and pay attention when you want to use a mandolin. Secure the potato on the food holder of your mandoline slicer.

    Hold the secure potato then place it over the slicing section of the mandolin then move it up and down to slice the potato.

    The sliced potatoes fall on the receiving tray or container (some mandolin slicers come with a receiving container)

    How long to cook sliced potatoes in air fryer.

    I used my Cosori Air fryer and these cooked in 15 mins however, a variety of factors will affect how long it takes to cook potato slices in the air fryer so please bear that in mind when making this potato recipe

    • Brand and size of air fryer used: Air fryers cook differently. If making a recipe for the first time, keep an eye on it and don’t be afraid to take a peek often.
    • Type of potatoes: Waxy potatoes like red potatoes tend to take longer to cook in the air fryer.
    • Thickness of the slices: Thicker slices will take longer than thinner ones.
    • Quantity made at a time: Over crowding the air fryer will lead to uneven cooking and longer cook time.

    Variations of this recipe

    Make it cheesy: Top these off with your favorite cheese to make it a cheesy affair. Cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar or Parmesan are great options. Who says you can’t mix 2 different ones too!

    Load it up: Throw in some bacon crumbles and spring onions to the cheesy potatoes to make it loaded.

    Make some seasoned potato slices: Use your favorite season blend and make these into Cajun potato slices or Suya potatoes by using the individual spices.

    How to store

    Let potatoes cool completely before storing in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing these. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.

    Air frying Tips

    • To ensure even cooking, cut potato slices evenly.
    • Soak in water to help crisp up the edges better.
    • Switch up your choice of spices or use specific spice blends like Cajun.
    • Shake your basket at least half way through to ensure all slices get the heat and cook evenly. I actually shake at 5 mins intervals.
    • These are slices not chips. Do not cut them too thin. You’d want a bit of a bite in them.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why are my air fryer potatoes not crispy?

    Not all potatoes get crispy. These would have crispy edges and fluffy insides. Crispy fries get to that level of crispy because they have been fried twice. Also thickness of the potatoes can affect how crispy they turn out.

    Should I oil potatoes before baking?

    Oiling potatoes before baking in the air fryer or bacon helps with texture. It makes the potatoes have the crispy exterior we love with a fluffy inside.

    Why do you soak potatoes in water before air frying

    Soaking potatoes removes most of the starch and helps get the potatoes crispy.

      Can these be made in an air fryer that has trays, or a rotating basket?

        Hi Ellie,

        Yer they can be made in an air fry oven with trays. I wouldn’t make it in the rotating basket as it may break up the slices. If making in the trays I’d suggest the middle rack and if using the two trays, swap the top to bottom and vice versa half way through cooking time.

      Just tried these parties tonight and if I had to switch up on anything’s it would be the timing. I think 15 mins is too long you’ll be eating potatoes chips.

        Hi Nyisha,

        Thanks for trying out this recipe and taking out time to leave a feedback! It’s appreciated.

        The time it takes to cook this recipe would definitely vary based on different factors such as how thin the potatoes are cut, the type of potatoes used, the air fryer used etc

        Waxy potatoes like red potatoes tend to take longer to cook in the air fryer than russet potatoes.

        The amount cooked at a time will also affect how fast potato slices cook.

        Finally different brands of air fryers cook differently so I always advise readers to keep an eye on the food they are making especially when making a recipe for the first time. Thanks again for stopping by.

      Made these and they were very good. My boys loved them. As the recipe mentioned you do need to shake them every 5 minutes.

        I just cooked these and made them almost to the recipe, but added sliced onions part way through, because I'm a sucker for onions. Even without them, these are Perfection. Perfect amount of spice, salt, the cook time is spot on, this is one of my new fave side dishes in the air fryer.
        Thank you for this!! 😊
