- Season Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and any optional seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 3: Air Fry the Chips
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook in Batches: Place a single layer of the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air Fry: Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Cook until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and sprinkle with additional salt if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Chips:
- Potato Type: Russet potatoes work well for crispy chips, but you can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a different texture.
- Even Cooking: Ensure the potato slices are cut evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Oil Amount: Adjust the amount of olive oil based on personal preference. Using less oil will result in slightly less crispy chips.
- Seasoning Options: Experiment with different seasonings such as chili powder, rosemary, or smoked paprika for different flavor profiles.
- Dipping Sauces: Serve with ketchup, aioli, ranch dressing, or any other favorite dipping sauce.
- Storage: Enjoy the chips immediately for the best crispiness. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to crisp them up again.
