Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to cut the potatoes into thin, uniform slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and yield crispier chips.
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil until all slices are coated evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to ensure even seasoning.
Lay the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure even cooking.
Air fry the potato slices for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to cook evenly, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the crispy chips to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving to ensure extra crispiness.
