Serving Suggestions
These air fryer sliced potatoes are so versatile; they pair well with a variety of dishes! I often serve them alongside grilled chicken for a wholesome family meal. The crispy texture of the potatoes gives a great contrast to the tender juicy chicken, and they soak up any sauce wonderfully!
Another delightful idea is to serve them with a homemade dipping sauce. A tangy ranch or zesty garlic aioli can really take the potatoes to the next level. I love setting up a little dipping station with a few different sauces for everyone to enjoy.
For a lighter option, you can serve these potatoes atop a fresh salad. Simply cube or slice them smaller once they’re cooked and mix them in with some greens, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette. Trust me; it’s a crowd-pleasing way to get some veggies in at the dinner table!
Variations & Customizations
One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easily you can customize it! If you’re a cheese lover like I am, consider sprinkling some shredded Parmesan on top of the potatoes while they cook—just a few minutes before they’re done, so it melts beautifully over them. It adds a delicious savory punch!
If you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different seasonings. One time I added a bit of cumin and chili powder for a southwest flair, and it was a hit! You could also go Italian with some dried oregano and basil, which adds a lovely aromatic quality to the potatoes.
For those who enjoy a little heat, don’t hesitate to toss in some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. This added heat really complements the potatoes and can elevate the dish to new, exciting heights. The best part about these sliced potatoes is that they can be anything you want them to be!
How to Store, Freeze & Reheat
If you find yourself with extras (which is a rarity in my house!), you can easily store them. Just let the leftovers cool to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for about 3-4 days. I often find myself reaching for the leftovers as a quick snack or adding them to my breakfast omelet!
If you’re planning to freeze them, it’s best to do so before cooking. Simply slice the potatoes, toss them in a bit of oil and your desired seasonings, and lay them on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Once they are frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. This way, I can pull out just the right amount whenever I’m craving some crispy potatoes!
Reheating is a breeze—either pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp back up or toss them in the oven. I like to reheat them in the air fryer at around 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. Just like that, they’re fresh and delicious again!
