Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe

This Air Fryer Potato Chips recipe produces thin, crispy slices of potato seasoned simply with salt and oil. Soaking and drying the potato slices before cooking helps remove excess moisture, which is key for a crunchy texture. The cooking process uses a low initial temperature followed by a higher heat to evenly cook and crisp the chips without burning.

Description

The recipe begins with slicing medium yellow potatoes thinly using a mandolin or knife, then soaking them in cold water for at least 20 minutes. This soaking step removes excess starch, which can cause sogginess. After draining, the potato slices are thoroughly dried with paper towels to enhance crispness.

Seasoned with oil and salt, the slices are cooked in two batches in the air fryer: initially at 200°F for 20 minutes to cook through, then tossed and returned at 400°F for 5 minutes to crisp the edges. This staged cooking imparts a balanced texture with a tender center and crisp exterior, mimicking traditional fried chips without the oil immersion.
