Ingredients

  • 3 large potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make thin potato slices using a mandolin or a sharp knife. A mandolin will give you more uniform pieces. Just watch your fingers. A mandolin is super sharp.
  2. Rinse the potato slices and soak them in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch so they become crispier.
  3. Drain the potatoes and pat dry them properly. Spread them over a paper towel in a single layer, and leave it to air dry for 10 minutes. Dry potato slices give you crispy and crunchy chips.
  4. Season the potato slices with oil and salt. Or see the notes section for other seasoning suggestions.
  5. Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C. Place the potato slices in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  6. Cook for 8 minutes until crispy.
  7. Let them cool before serving.
