Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 second spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even pieces, about 1/8-inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
After soaking, drain the water and lay the potato slices on a kitchen towel. Pat them dry completely to ensure crispiness.
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for about 5 minutes.
Return the dry potato slices to the bowl and lightly mist with olive oil spray for a couple of seconds, tossing to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato slices and toss well to ensure even coating.
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Air fry the chips at 360°F (182°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check for desired doneness and crispiness. Cook for an additional few minutes if needed, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for maximum crispiness.
Serve immediately as a delicious, low-fat snack, or as a side dish with your favorite dip.
