How to Serve Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices
You can serve these crispy marvels in so many fun ways. Got some dip handy? Go for it! Whether it’s ketchup, ranch, or my personal favorite, sour cream, these slices pair well with just about anything. You can also sprinkle some grated cheese on top if you’re feeling extra fancy. 🎉
How to Store Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices
If you somehow have leftovers (which is rare), you can store them in an airtight container. Pop them in the fridge, and they’ll last for about 2-3 days. Just don’t blame me if they go a little soft—best enjoyed fresh! To reheat, toss them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain that delightful crunch.
Tips to Make Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices
- Cut Evenly: Make sure all slices are the same thickness for consistent cooking.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Give those bad boys room to breathe! It’s all about that air circulation to get them crispy.
- Optional but recommended: Let the potato slices soak in water for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps release excess starch, which makes them even crispier.
Variation
Feeling adventurous? Try using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a twist! They are slightly sweeter and just as delicious. You can also experiment with different spices like cajun seasoning or even go spicy with chili powder!
