Sliced Potatoes In Air Fryer
Ingredients Needed For Air Fried Sliced Potatoes
Potatoes. We like to use Yukon gold potatoes but you can also use red potatoes or even russets for this recipe. Each one has a slightly different texture, but they all taste great.
If you choose to use russets, we do recommend that you peel them before slicing.
Oil. We recommend that you use olive oil to coat your potatoes. You could also use avocado oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, or your favorite type of oil, just make sure that it has a higher smoke point.
Garlic salt. One of our favorite seasonings to use when making this recipe is garlic salt with parsley. You can find this mixture at most large grocery stores, but we typically pick it up at Aldi.
Sea salt. We use course sea salt for this recipe, but you may use kosher salt, or even iodized salt if you prefer.
Italian seasoning. A little bit of Italian seasoning included in these potatoes also gives you a tasty flavor.

How to Slice Potatoes
Begin by slicing your potatoes so that they are cut fairly thin. We like to carefully use a mandolin slicer on the thickest setting, to cut the potatoes evenly.
However, you can also carefully use a large sharp knife to cut each potato so that it is approximately 1/8 inch thick (or a little more).
After the potatoes are all cut, you can add them to a large mixing bowl and rinse in water. Then cover the potatoes with clean water and let them soak in the water for 15 minutes.
After they have soaked, drain the water, and replace the sliced potatoes back into the mixing bowl.
Drizzle the potato slices with oil, and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning. Toss the potatoes so that they are all coated with oil and seasonings.
