FAQs

What type of potatoes are best for this recipe?

Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes are ideal due to their starchy content, which yields a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.

Can I leave the skin on the potatoes?

Yes, leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients. Just ensure they are thoroughly washed before slicing.

Do I need to soak the potato slices before air frying?

Soaking is optional. While it can help remove excess starch and enhance crispiness, it's not necessary for this recipe.

Can I use other seasonings?

Absolutely. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, or chili powder to suit your taste.

How do I prevent the potato slices from sticking together?

Ensure the slices are evenly coated with oil and arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.

Can I make these ahead of time?

While best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare and season the slices ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

Are these potato slices gluten-free?

Yes, as long as all the ingredients used are gluten-free, this recipe is suitable for a gluten-free diet.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, but you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, which can affect crispiness.

What dipping sauces pair well with these potato slices?

They pair well with ketchup, aioli, ranch dressing, or any of your favorite dipping sauces.

Can I use a different type of oil?

Yes, oils like avocado or canola oil can be used as alternatives to olive oil.
