- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, pepper
Instructions:
- Boil the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into thin slices (about 1/16 inch thick).
- Boil the potato slices in a pot of salted water for 3-4 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked.
- Drain and let the slices cool completely.
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Pat the boiled potato slices dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
- Season the Potatoes:
- Toss the potato slices with olive oil and seasonings of your choice until evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Chips:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chips are crispy and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. They will become more crispy as they cool.
Cooking Tips:
- For extra crispiness, try soaking the raw potato slices in vinegar water for 30 minutes before soaking in plain water.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your slices and the type of air fryer you have. Some air fryers may cook faster or slower.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure the chips cook evenly and become crispy.
Pairing Suggestions:
These air fryer potato chips are great on their own or with a variety of dips like ketchup, mustard, or homemade ranch. They can also be served alongside sandwiches or burgers for a delicious meal.
