Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, but they can also be left unpeeled for extra texture.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl filled with cold water to remove excess starch. Let them soak for at least 5 minutes.
While the potato slices are soaking, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices, olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss until the slices are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It's okay if they slightly overlap, but avoid overcrowding for best results. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the potato slices in the preheated air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack for maximum crispiness.
Serve the chips immediately as a delicious Whole30-compliant snack or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
