Instructions:
Prep the Potatoes:
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Peel the potatoes if desired.
Slice the Potatoes:
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/8-inch thickness. For uniform chips, try to slice them as evenly as possible.
Soak the Potato Slices:
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.
Dry the Potato Slices:
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Season the Potato Slices:
In a bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, ensuring that each slice is lightly coated. Season with salt and any desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder.
Air Fry the Potato Chips:
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
Arrange a single layer of seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Cook in Batches:
Cook the potato slices in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the slices and your air fryer model.
Crisp to Perfection:
Air fry the potato slices for about 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once crispy, remove the potato chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Enjoy your homemade air fryer potato chips as a tasty snack or side dish.
These homemade air fryer potato chips are a healthier alternative to store-bought chips and can be customized with your favorite seasonings. Experiment with different potato varieties and seasonings to create your perfect batch of crispy chips!
