Extra tips -
Soak potatoes in ice water for 15 - 30 minutes to make the potato slices crispier. However in this recipe it's not necessary though. And cooking at high temperature makes them crispy anyways.
Flip or shake the basket in the halfway for even cooking. You can skip this too but I personally has seen better result when flipped the slices. This helps in giving even texture on both sides.
If it look dry, can spray oil lightly while flipping them. But again preference.
Add seasonings and herbs of choice.
If you cut slices relatively thinner try cooking at lower temperature and lesser time to cook. Get your time correct for the thickness of the slices in your air fryer since all the air fryer doesn't cook the same way.
F A Qs
Yes, absolutely you can cook the slices in the air fryer and these are much better in taste and texture than the pan-fried ones. These are healthier too.
Potatoes become crispier when they are less starchy. We wash and soak them after cutting to get rid of those extra starch. Ice water is an added benefit to this. Also with more starch it might take a little extra time but not necessarily always.
Potatoes turn out crispy when cooked at relatively higher temperature like 400 F in the air fryer. Cook the potato slices at 400 F for 10 - 12 minutes unless they are thinly sliced.
Serve the sliced potatoes with air fryer chicken legs, air fryer chicken thighs, air fryer chicken tenders, and the list is long indeed.
