Making homemade chips (French fries) in an air fryer is a healthier alternative to deep frying, resulting in crispy, golden-brown potatoes with a fraction of the oil. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), scrubbed clean
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Cut Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into thin strips or wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, depending on your preference.
- Soak (Optional): Soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps make the fries crispier.
- Dry Thoroughly: Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
