Description
Crispy and delicious homemade air fryer potato chips made from thinly sliced Russet potatoes. These chips are soaked to remove excess starch, lightly coated with olive oil, and air fried to perfection for a healthier alternative to traditional fried chips.
Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 large baking potatoes Russet potatoes, sliced into ⅛-inch slices
- 6 cups ice water
Seasoning and Oil
- Non-Aerosol olive oil cooking spray no propellants and no additives
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt Lawry’s brand
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Soak Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes into a large bowl with the ice water. Allow the potato slices to soak for 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Rinse and Drain: Drain the starchy ice water and rinse the potato slices under fresh cold water.
- Dry Potatoes: Spread the potato slices onto a large baking sheet lined with paper towels in an even layer. Using another paper towel, pat the potato slices very dry, then remove the paper towels from the tray.
- Apply Oil: Spray the dried potato slices evenly on both sides with the non-aerosol olive oil cooking spray.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Air Fry Chips: Place a single layer of the oil-coated potato slices into the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding or overlapping. Air fry for 15 minutes, shaking the basket about halfway through to ensure even cooking. Check the chips during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Season and Serve: Transfer the chips to a serving plate while still hot. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
- Store air fryer chips in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Best served immediately as they do not preserve well without additives.
- Scrub potatoes gently with cool water; peeling is not necessary.
- For large batches, keep half the potato slices soaking while air frying the first batches.
- Using two baking sheets can help when drying and oiling potato slices in batches.
- Seasoned salt adds great flavor but fine sea salt can be used as a substitute.
