Ingredients:
- Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)
- Olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt and seasonings (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or your choice)
Instructions:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes, leaving the skins on for added flavor and texture. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on is more traditional.
- Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, uniform rounds. Try to make them as thin as possible for crispy chips.
- Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. This will help the chips become crispier.
- Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Preheat your air fryer to around 360-375°F (180-190°C).
- Lightly coat the potato slices with olive oil or use a cooking spray to apply a thin, even layer of oil. This will help the chips crisp up in the air fryer.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overlapping. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the potato slices in the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. It’s essential to keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer’s size and model.
- While the chips are still hot, season them with salt and any other desired seasonings. Be creative with your flavorings to suit your preferences.
- Let the chips cool for a few minutes to become even crispier. They will continue to firm up as they cool down.
- Serve your air fryer potato chips as a tasty snack or side dish. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
