Instructions
- Get the potatoes ready
Clean the potatoes well and cut them into rounds that are 1/2 cm thick. - Soak and Dry
As you cut the potatoes, put the slices in a pot of water to get rid of extra starch.
When all the slices are ready, drain the water and use a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry them completely. - Add salt to the slices
In a bowl, mix the dried potato slices with olive oil, garlic granules, dried mixed herbs, and salt until they are all covered. Toss well until each slice is covered evenly. - Fry in the air
Put the seasoned slices in the air fryer basket and spread them out evenly.
At 200°C (390°F), cook for 18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to make sure everything cooks evenly.
The outside of the slices should turn golden and crispy, while the inside should stay soft. If you need to, cook for another two minutes. - Serve and Enjoy

Storing and Reheating
Storage in the fridge
If you need to store something for a short time, your refrigerator is the best place to do it.
- First, let the potatoes cool down completely at room temperature before putting them away. Putting hot food right into the fridge can make too much moisture, which could make the slices soggy.
- Put it in a container that won’t let air in: Put the cooled slices in a container or bag that won’t let air in. This keeps them crispy and stops them from smelling like the fridge.
- How long they last: They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days. To get the best results, heat them up again within one to two days to keep their crispiness.
Storage in the Freezer
If you made a lot of sliced potatoes, freezing them in your air fryer is a great idea!
- For the best results, put the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them for 1 to 2 hours. This keeps them from sticking together.
- Put the slices in a heavy-duty freezer bag or container once they are frozen. Before sealing, make sure to get rid of as much air as you can.
- How long can these slices be stored? You can freeze them for up to two months.
- How to Reheat: Put frozen potatoes in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes. You don’t have to thaw them out; they’ll get nice and crispy!
These tips for storing your air fryer potatoes will let you make them ahead of time or enjoy leftovers without losing that delicious crunch. Your crispy potato fix is only a reheat away, whether it’s in the fridge or the freezer.
