Cut slices evenly
Burn thin slices while thick ones are still firm. A vegetable planer helps with a uniform thickness of about 4 mm.

Why this recipe works
Crispy frying potato slices without precooking
The air fryer does not completely replace the strong pan crust with frying potatoes, but delivers evenly browned slices with little oil. The decisive factor is a uniform thickness, a dry surface and enough space in the basket. Onions do not tolerate the full cooking time and are therefore only added in the second half.

Tips for Air Fryer Fried Potatoes
Dry after watering
Remaining water produces steam and prevents the crust. Season the potatoes only when they feel dry.
Regularly apply
Potato slices lie flat on each other. Multiple shaking dissolves them and brings new surfaces into the airflow.
