Air Fryer Potato Chips
Golden, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, air fryer potato chips bring all the crunch of your favorite store-bought snack but with a wholesome, homemade touch. Made with just a few pantry ingredients, they’re lighter, healthier, and endlessly customizable for your perfect snack.
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture.
- Using a mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. Aim for slices about 1.5 millimeters thick.
- Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the slices and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Removing all moisture is key to crispy chips.
- In a clean dry bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 14 to 18 minutes, flipping chips halfway through using tongs. Start checking at 12 minutes as thinner chips will cook faster.
- Remove chips that are golden and crisp, then repeat with remaining potato slices.
- Let chips cool for a few minutes before serving. They will continue to crisp up slightly as they cool.
