Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional seasoning (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, or black pepper)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Thinly slice them into chips, about 1/16 inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for even slices.
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispy chips.
Drain and rinse the potato slices, then pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, making sure each slice is lightly coated. Sprinkle with salt and any optional seasoning, as desired.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the potato slices for 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning, as cooking time may vary depending on slice thickness and air fryer model.
Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a cooling rack to maintain their crispiness.
Repeat with the remaining batches if necessary. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
