Absolutely! Here’s a simple and crispy Homemade Air Fryer Potato Chips recipe — healthier than deep-fried, and still super satisfying 🥔✨
🍟 Homemade Air Fryer Potato Chips
Ingredients:
-
2 medium russet potatoes (or Yukon Gold for a slightly sweeter chip)
-
1–2 tsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
-
Salt, to taste
Optional seasonings:
-
Paprika
-
Garlic powder
-
Vinegar powder
-
Chili flakes
-
Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme)
🔪 Instructions:
1. Slice the potatoes:
-
Wash and peel the potatoes (optional, skin-on works too).
-
Use a mandoline or very sharp knife to slice very thin rounds (1.5–2 mm thick). Uniform thickness ensures even cooking.
2. Soak the slices:
-
Place slices in a bowl of cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch — this helps make them crispier.
-
Drain and pat completely dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
3. Oil & season:
-
Toss the dry slices with a little olive oil — just enough to coat.
-
Sprinkle lightly with salt and any seasonings you like.
4. Air fry:
-
Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C).
-
Arrange potato slices in a single layer in the basket — don’t overcrowd (work in batches).
-
Air fry for 10–15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Watch closely toward the end; chips can go from golden to burnt quickly.
-
Thinness and type of potato will affect timing.
-
5. Cool & crisp:
-
Remove chips and let them cool on a rack — they crisp up more as they cool.
-
Taste and add more salt or seasoning if needed.
🧂 Flavor Ideas:
-
Salt & vinegar: Toss with malt vinegar before air frying, or sprinkle with vinegar powder afterward.
-
BBQ: Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a bit of brown sugar.
-
Spicy: Use cayenne, chili powder, or hot paprika.
