Preparation Details

Preparation Time: 0 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Soaking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

2 baking potatoes
Olive oil
Salt and seasonings (to taste)

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean and slice them thinly, around ⅛ inch thick, using a mandolin for consistent slices.
Soak the Slices: Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15-30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch, making them extra crispy. After soaking, drain the water and pat the slices dry with a towel.
Preheat & Season: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (187°C). Toss the dried potato slices with olive oil and season them with salt or your preferred seasonings.
Air Fry the Chips: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then toss the chips. Continue cooking for an additional 12-17 minutes, tossing every few minutes to ensure even cooking.
Monitor Crispness: As the chips start to brown and crisp up, remove the ones that are ready to prevent burning. Continue cooking until all the chips are golden and crispy.

Notes:

For the best results, use a mandolin or the slicing side of a box grater to achieve uniformly thin slices.
Soaking the potato slices in cold water not only prevents discoloration but also helps create a crispier texture.
Ensure the slices are completely dry before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness.
Remove chips from the air fryer as soon as they become crisp and lightly browned to avoid overcooking.

Storage Tips:

Store your homemade chips in a bowl at room temperature. To prevent them from softening, avoid sealing them in an airtight container. A paper bag with a clip works great for maintaining their crunch.
If your chips lose their crispness, you can easily revive them by placing them back in the air fryer for a few minutes. Alternatively, you can place them in a single layer on a baking tray and broil them in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
