Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large potatoes Russet or Yukon Gold
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp paprika optional

Method
 

  1. Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, although leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
  2. Slice the potatoes into thin, even chips using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick for optimal crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps achieve a crispy texture right from the start.
  5. Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  6. Cook the chips for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the slices and the air fryer model.
  7. Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
  8. Serve your air fryer chips warm, and enjoy them with your favorite dip or as a stand-alone snack.
