Try these Sliced Potatoes In The Air Fryer, and you’ll never buy a bag of chips again!
I am a chip girl. I can rarely say no to a salty, crunchy snack. In fact, I crave them. Even when I am on a roll with my clean eating, I find it hard to resist a bag of potato chips. Have you ever tried Late July’s jalapeño lime chips? They’re a hit in my book, and so are their sea salt with just lime and nacho cheese varieties.
I tell myself it’s okay to enjoy these chips because they’re organic and non-GMO. Besides, I only buy them when I’m on vacation or a road trip. But I can’t keep them around the house, or else I’d easily eat the entire bag all by myself. That’s one expensive habit—Late July’s chips aren’t cheap!
That’s why I like making my own homemade potato chips. For one, they’re cheaper. Also, using an air fryer makes the whole process ridiculously easy. I should note that these chips are slightly thicker than traditional potato chips. But don’t worry—they’re still wonderfully crisp! This is a great recipe to keep in mind when you have an overflow of potatoes or are cutting down on store-bought snacks.
Are Sliced Potatoes In The Air Fryer Healthy?
With only a handful of basic ingredients and seasonings, air-frying potatoes is a nutritious and easy way to prepare them. Air-frying also uses less oil, so the fat count is relatively low. Plus, potatoes contain iron, potassium, and magnesium. Overall, this recipe is a much healthier alternative to traditional potato chips!
Mix It Up With Colorful Potatoes And Seasonings!
What’s great about this recipe is it allows for versatility. If you don’t have any Yukon Gold potatoes on hand, you can choose from almost any type of potato. And what’s great about including a variety of potatoes is the colorful arrangement it creates. Orange sweet potato mixed in with purple and red potatoes all cook beautifully in the air fryer. Even better, they create the most beautiful assortment—perfect for entertaining or just to make family meals more fun!
The creativity doesn’t stop with the potatoes—switch up the seasonings, too! Use an infused oil on the potatoes and sprinkle fresh garlic and your favorite dried herbs to mimic your favorite chip flavors. When I crave Late July’s nacho cheese chips, I’ll make a blend of nutritional yeast and spices. I’ll even use homemade ranch or guacamole seasoning for a tasty twist. The options are endless!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container or Ziploc bag at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Serving Suggestions
If you’re a salty and savory snacker like me, these potatoes are especially delicious served with a flavorful dipping sauce. Pair them with a Chipotle Aioli or a classic Cheese Dip. I also like Pimento Cheese and Sour Cream Dip. Really, any dip will do!
Additionally, they can be served as a side for proteins like grilled chicken and Air-Fryer Fish. They’re also a great alternative to the baked potato if you’re looking to switch up your steak sides. Or pair them with lunch favorites such as a BLT Sandwich and a cup of hot Tomato Soup.
