Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8 inch thick).
Place the potato slices into a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the dried potato slices back to the large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the slices, and toss to coat evenly.
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
Place a single layer of potato slices in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the potato slices for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chips from the air fryer and immediately season them with additional salt if desired.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh touch.
Repeat with remaining potato slices.
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture, and enjoy your heart-healthy snack!
