Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and scrubbing the potatoes thoroughly. It's not necessary to peel them unless you prefer them skinless.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness.
Drain the water and spread the potato slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.
Add salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings on all slices.
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
Place the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You might need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the chips for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispness.
Once they are golden and crispy, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. This will help them retain their crunch.
Repeat with the remaining batches if necessary.
Serve immediately as a snack or a side dish.
