Say goodbye to greasy store-bought snacks with these **Heart-Healthy Crispy Air Fryer Chips**—a guilt-free indulgence packed with flavor and crunch! Made with just two russet potatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of pantry spices like paprika and garlic powder, this recipe transforms simple ingredients into a crispy, golden delight in just under 40 minutes. The magic happens in the air fryer, which uses rapid hot air circulation to achieve that perfect chip texture without the need for heavy frying oils. Soaking the potato slices before cooking removes excess starch, ensuring extra crispiness, while a garnish of fresh parsley adds a wholesome, vibrant finish. Perfect as a nutritious snack or a crowd-pleasing appetizer, these air fryer chips are low in fat, high in flavor, and completely irresistible. Whether you're following a heart-healthy lifestyle or just craving a crunchy treat, this recipe is a must-try!
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!
