How to Make Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes

Step 1: Slice the Potatoes

Toss slices with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Step 5: Air Fry

Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serve immediately while crispy and golden.

And that first bite? Crunchy, warm, and unbelievably satisfying!!
