Love potato chips but not the grease? This air fryer potato chips recipe gives you the perfect crunch without the guilt. Using minimal oil and a few pantry staples, you’ll have a batch of golden, crispy chips ready in minutes—no deep frying required!
Whether you're snacking solo or prepping for a party, these homemade chips are healthier, customizable, and super satisfying.
Ingredients (Serves 2–3):
- 2 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon gold work best)
- 1–2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, chili flakes, onion powder
Instructions:
1. Wash and slice potatoes:
Scrub the potatoes clean (peel if preferred), then slice thinly using a mandolin or sharp knife—aim for uniform slices about 1/16-inch thick.
2. Soak slices:
Place slices in a bowl of cold water for 20–30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps chips get crispier.
3. Dry thoroughly:
Drain and pat dry with a clean towel or paper towels—moisture is the enemy of crispness!
4. Toss with oil and seasoning:
In a bowl, lightly coat the slices with olive oil and salt. Add any optional seasonings.
5. Air fry in batches:
Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Spread potato slices in a single layer in the basket (no overlapping). Cook for 10–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes. Chips should be golden and crispy.
6. Cool and enjoy:
Let chips cool slightly—they’ll crisp up more. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
