The Ultimate Air Fryer Potato Chips
These air fryer potato chips are irresistibly crunchy and seasoned to perfection. Made from fresh potatoes and minimal oil, they provide a healthier alternative to store-bought chips, making them an excellent choice for a snack or side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash and slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings (garlic powder, paprika) until evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Place the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t overlapping. You may need to do this in batches.
- Cook: Air fry for about 15-20 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
