Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 large potatoes
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Wash and Peel: Thoroughly wash and peel the 2 large potatoes to prepare them for slicing.
- Slice Thinly: Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into thin, even slices for optimal crispiness.
- Soak the Slices: Soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a better crunch.
- Dry the Slices: Drain the water and pat the potato slices completely dry using a towel to prevent sogginess during cooking.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried potato slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder if desired, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) to prepare for cooking.
- Arrange in Basket: Place the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and airflow.
- Cook the Chips: Air fry the potato slices for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all chips cook evenly and become crispy.
- Remove and Cool: Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool before serving to enhance their crunch.
Notes
- Using a mandoline slicer helps achieve evenly thin slices for uniform cooking.
- Soaking the potato slices in cold water removes excess starch and prevents them from sticking.
- Be sure to dry the slices thoroughly before air frying to ensure crispiness.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway to cook chips evenly and avoid burning.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; you can experiment with other spices like paprika or cayenne for a different flavor.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
