Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, or leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
Using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer, cut the potatoes into even, thin slices, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Consistent thickness ensures even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and achieve crispier chips.
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Preheat your air fryer to 360Β°F (182Β°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking from the start.
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil to coat them evenly. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, then mix well to combine.
Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It may be necessary to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, ensuring optimal air circulation for crispiness.
Air fry the chips for approximately 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to flip and redistribute the chips for even browning.
Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a serving bowl. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed, while the chips are still warm.
Repeat the process until all potato slices are cooked. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
