air fryer potato chips

Here’s a simple and delicious Air Fryer Potato Chips recipe that gives you crispy, golden chips with minimal oil:

🥔 Ingredients:

• 2 medium russet potatoes or Yukon Gold

• 1–2 tsp olive oil

• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)

• Optional: paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, vinegar, etc.

🔪 Instructions:

1. Slice the potatoes thinly
   Use a mandoline slicer or very sharp knife to cut the potatoes into 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick slices.

2. Soak in cold water (optional but recommended)
   Place the slices in a bowl of cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps make them crispier.

3. Dry the slices thoroughly
   Drain and pat the potato slices dry using a clean towel or paper towels. They must be dry for crispiness.

4. Season and oil
   Toss the slices with olive oil and salt. Add any extra seasonings now if you’d like.

5. Preheat air fryer (optional but helpful)
   Set to 350°F (175°C).

6. Air fry in batches
   Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (avoid overlapping). Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes, flipping or shaking halfway through. Keep a close eye—thin slices can burn quickly!

7. Cool
   Remove when golden and crisp. Let them cool on a wire rack (they crisp more as they cool).

✅ Tips:

• Mandoline slicers give consistent thickness, which ensures even cooking.

• Want salt & vinegar chips? Soak in white vinegar instead of plain water before drying.

• Thicker chips take longer to cook but can be chewier if that’s your preference.
