Ready to get your chip on? Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 medium potatoes, washed
- Olive oil cooking spray
- ½ t salt
- Parsley, to garnish (optional)
You will also need the below:
- Veggie peeler or Mandoline slicer
- Air Fryer
- Large Bowl
- Sheet pan
Air Fryer Potato Chips Instructions:
Using a veggie peeler or mandoline, slice the potatoes into very thin slices.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl, cover them with ice, and fill them with cold water.
Allow the potatoes to soak for 15 minutes.
Drain the water and repeat with fresh ice cubes and water. Allow to soak for an additional 15 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees. Spray the basket with non-stick spray.
Line a sheet pan with paper towels. Lay out an even layer of potato slices and pat with additional paper towels to soak up excess water.
Spray the potato slices with the olive oil non-stick spray. Sprinkle it with some salt.
Place a single layer of potatoes into the basket of the air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes at a time and stir. Potato chips are done after about 15 minutes, browned slightly and crispy.
Transfer the cooked potato chips to a clean plate and repeat steps 6-8 until all the potato slices are cooked.
Sprinkle with the parsley to garnish, optional.
Pro tip: Use a spray bottle filled with olive oil for even, light coating instead of directly drizzling oil on the potatoes.
Storage: Potato chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Q: What type of potatoes are best?
A: Russet potatoes are ideal for their high starch content, translating to ultimate crispiness.
Q: Do I need to soak the potatoes?
A: Soaking removes excess starch, leading to crispier chips. While optional, it’s recommended for an extra level of crunch.
Q: Can I use pre-cut potatoes?
A: Absolutely! However, cutting your own allows for more control over thickness and even cooking.
Q: Can I add other ingredients?
A: Get creative! Try grated cheese, chopped herbs, spices like paprika or smoked paprika, or even a drizzle of melted butter for added flavor.
