Quick Facts
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 16–18 minutes
Total Time: 21–23 minutes
Ingredients
1 ½ lb small potatoes, thinly sliced into rounds
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan, added after cooking
Directions
1. Slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds, about ⅛–¼ inch thick.
2. Pat the potato slices very dry with paper towels so they crisp instead of steaming.
3. Add the potato slices to a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 2–3 minutes if your model recommends preheating.
5. Arrange the potato slices in the air fryer basket in a mostly single layer. A little overlap is fine, but do not overcrowd the basket.
6. Air fry at 380°F for 16–18 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through.
7. Cook until the edges are browned and crispy and the centers are tender.
8. Sprinkle with Parmesan or extra herbs if desired, then serve warm.
Notes / Tips
Drying the potato slices well is the most important step for crispy edges.
Thinner slices cook faster and get crispier, while thicker slices stay softer in the center.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in two batches if needed.
Shake the basket halfway through so the potatoes brown more evenly.
Add Parmesan after cooking, not before, so it does not burn.
Variations
Garlic Parmesan: Add grated Parmesan and a little extra garlic powder after cooking.
Spicy Potato Slices: Add ¼ teaspoon paprika and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Ranch Style: Toss the potatoes with 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning before air frying.
Lemon Herb: Finish with lemon zest and chopped parsley after cooking.
