Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Use a mandoline slicer to slice the potatoes into thin, even slices (about 1/8-inch thick).
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and ensures crispiness.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, making sure each slice is lightly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and paprika, and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
Air fry the potato slices for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Check the chips after 15 minutes. They should be golden brown and crispy. If they need more time, continue to cook in 2-minute increments, checking for doneness.
Once cooked, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve the heart-healthy potato chips immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
