    • Cajun seasoning - This is an easy way to add a lot of flavour.
    • Garlic powder - You can't go wrong with garlic potatoes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you slice the potatoes?

    The key to this recipe is getting nice thin slices of potato. Not too thin though, otherwise they will burn. You can use a knife, or a mandolin. But, PLEASE be careful if using one.

    How long do you cook potato slices in the air fryer for?

    This really depends on your air fryer, how thin you sliced your potatoes and also how crispy you like them. Ours took about 15 minutes in the air fryer, but yours might be quicker or take a bit longer, so keep checking them.

    Why are my potatoes not crispy?

    This really depends on the type of potato you have used, as not all potatoes get very crispy. It also depends on how thick you have cut your potatoes.

    What air fryer to use?

    We can't rate highly enough the Power Air Fryer XL. The 5 litre capacity is big enough for cooking for the whole family and it can fry, grill, bake, sauté, roast and steam. There are simple touch screen controls and it heats up quickly and can cook your food up to 70% faster than a conventional oven. Also, it's dishwasher safe.

    Extra tips

    • Make sure the shake the potatoes half way through.
    • Love cheesy potatoes? Load these with some grated cheese and chopped bacon and put them back in the air fryer for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted.
    • To ensure even cooking, make sure that the potatoes are all cut to the same size.
    • For super crispy potatoes, soak them in water first and then dry with paper towel. This helps to remove some of the starch.
    • You can leave the skin on the potatoes or peel them, it's up to you.
    • Don't overfill your air fryer basket, as they won't get crispy. Cook in batches if you need to.
    • When mixing the oil and seasoning into the potatoes, use your hands to get everything more evenly distributed.
