Air Fryer Potato Slices – Weight Watchers Friendly
Ingredients:
- Potatoes (russet, Yukon Gold, or your preferred variety)
- Cooking oil (such as olive oil or vegetable oil)
- Seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, etc.)
Instructions:
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes and leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients. No need to peel.
- Slice the potatoes into your desired thickness. Keep in mind that thinner slices will cook faster and become crispier.
Season the Slices:
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle a small amount of cooking oil over the slices and gently toss to ensure they are lightly coated with oil.
- Season the potatoes with your choice of seasonings. Common choices include salt, pepper, and paprika, but feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to the recommended temperature for making fries or potato chips, typically around 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Potatoes:
- Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, pausing to shake or flip the slices halfway through the cooking time.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the potato slices and your specific air fryer model. Keep a close eye on them and adjust the cooking time as needed to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
Serve:
- Once the potato slices are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise, or aioli.
