Peel the potatoes (if desired) and slice them into even sticks about 1/4 inch wide. Try to keep the sizes consistent for even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Removing excess moisture is essential for achieving crispy chips.
Preheat the air fryer to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the dry potato sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do this in batches if necessary, rather than crowding the basket, to ensure even cooking.
Cook the chips in the air fryer for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.
Once cooked to your desired level of crispness and color, remove the chips from the air fryer and serve immediately. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Enjoy your delicious and healthier air fried chips!
