Perfect for anyone seeking a low sodium, heart-healthy alternative, these homemade chips are best served fresh or stored for munching later.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Use a mandoline slicer to cut the potatoes into thin slices, about 1/16 inch thick, for a uniform crispiness. Soak the slices in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, ensuring they become extra crispy.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry potato slices with olive oil, ensuring all slices are coated evenly. Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and parsley flakes to the bowl. Toss well to uniformly season the potatoes.
Place the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the chips in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
Air fry the potato slices for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain their crispness.
Serve immediately for maximum crunch or store in an airtight container for up to two days. Enjoy your low-sodium crispy air-fried chips as a guilt-free snack.
