Made with simple ingredients and a fraction of the oil, these chips are crispy, golden, and packed with flavor. The air fryer is a game-changer, offering a quicker and healthier way to achieve that perfect crunch.
### Why Make Potato Chips in an Air Fryer?
Air frying is an excellent way to prepare crispy foods without the need for deep frying. By using hot air to circulate around the food, the air fryer creates a crispy texture on the outside while keeping the inside tender. It significantly reduces the amount of oil used in cooking, making it a healthier alternative to traditional frying.
In this recipe, the air fryer helps you achieve perfectly crispy potato chips in just a fraction of the time it would take to bake them in the oven — all while cutting down on excess oil and fat. Plus, you have full control over the seasonings, ensuring that every chip is seasoned to your liking!
### Ingredients
* **2 large potatoes** (Russet potatoes work best for this recipe)
* **1-2 tablespoons olive oil** (or cooking spray)
* **Salt** to taste (you can also add pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or any other seasoning you prefer)
* **Optional**: Vinegar or seasoning blends (such as BBQ or ranch)
### Instructions
#### 1. **Prepare the Potatoes**
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes (or leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition). Slice the potatoes into thin, uniform rounds — about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be!
To achieve even slices, you can use a mandoline slicer, which will ensure uniform thickness for perfect results.
#### 2. **Soak the Potato Slices**
After slicing the potatoes, place the slices in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour. This step helps remove excess starch from the potatoes, which helps achieve that crispy texture. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but soaking really does make a difference in the final texture.
Once soaked, drain the water and pat the slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing excess moisture is key to getting crispy chips.
