There’s something undeniably addictive about potato chips – that perfect blend of crunch, salt, and savory satisfaction.
Healthier Snacking
One of the best things about this recipe is its health aspect. Air frying uses significantly less oil than traditional deep frying, making these chips a guilt-free snack. Plus, you’re in control of the ingredients – no preservatives or artificial flavors here!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Potatoes (2 large) Olive oil (2 tablespoons) Salt (to taste) Optional: your favorite seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, etc.)
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prep Your Potatoes
Start by washing and peeling your potatoes. Then, using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice them as thinly as possible. This is key for that perfect chip crunch.
2. Soak the Slices
Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This step removes excess starch, ensuring your chips will be extra crispy.
3. Season and Oil
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil and your choice of seasonings. Remember, a little goes a long way!
4. Air Fry to Perfection
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd – you might need to work in batches. Set your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
5. Finishing Touches
Once done, sprinkle the chips with a bit more salt or any additional seasonings you like. Let them cool for a few minutes to achieve the ultimate crunch.
Tips for the Perfect Chip
Thickness Consistency: Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices, which ensures uniform cooking. Flavor Variations: Feel free to explore with different seasonings. Try a mix of smoked paprika and garlic powder for a BBQ flavor, or a sprinkle of vinegar powder for salt and vinegar chips. Keep Them Crispy: Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crunch. Batch Cooking: If making a large batch, keep cooked chips in a warm oven to maintain crispiness while you cook the rest.
