Make perfectly crispy, low-fat potato chips using your air fryer. This simple recipe delivers a satisfying crunch without deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes completely. Do not peel them for a more rustic chip.
  2. Slice the potatoes very thinly, aiming for 1/16 inch thickness. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
  3. Place the slices in a bowl and toss them with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until lightly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap them; work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes. Check frequently after the 10-minute mark.
  7. The chips are done when they are golden brown and crisp. If they are still soft, continue cooking in 1-minute intervals.
  8. Remove the chips and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes to achieve maximum crunch.

Notes

  • Uniform slicing is key to getting evenly cooked, crispy chips. A mandoline is recommended for the best results.
  • If you prefer a salt and vinegar flavor, toss the sliced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar before adding the oil.
  • For extra crunchy air fryer potatoes, you can soak the slices in ice water for 30 minutes, rinse, and dry them thoroughly before seasoning.
