Air Fryer Potato Chips
Crispy, golden, and healthier than traditional fried chips, these Air Fryer Potato Chips are the perfect guilt-free snack. Made with minimal oil and customizable seasonings, they’re easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional seasonings: smoked paprika garlic powder, truffle salt, or custom spice blend
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Slice them into thin, even slices about 1/8-inch thick using a mandoline or sharp knife.
Soak the Slices:
- Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes.
- Drain and pat them completely dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Season the Chips:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, and your desired seasonings.
Arrange in the Air Fryer:
- Lay the slices in a single, non-overlapping layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary.
Air Fry:
- Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the chips for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove when they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the chips cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- For ultra-crispy chips, ensure slices are fully dried after soaking.
- Experiment with flavor combinations: mix smoked paprika and garlic powder for a smoky twist.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Use wax paper to separate layers of chips when storing to maintain texture.
