How to make Air Fryer Potato Chips
To make the best air fryer potato chips, follow these steps.
First, wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water and scrub off any debris stuck on the skin. You do not need to peel the potatoes.
Next, use a mandolin to slice the potatoes to 1/8th inch slices and then rinse them in water again to get rid of any excess starch.
Fill a large bowl with ice cold tap water and soak the slices for 15 minutes. Next, drain the water and refill the bowl with new ice cold water and soak the slices for another 15 minutes.
Once they have soaked a second time, preheat the air fryer to 360 F or 180 C. Next, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. After laying them out flat, spritz the potatoes with cooking oil and sprinkle on some salt.
When they are ready, place them in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding them. Fry them for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping mid way through at about 10 minutes. They will turn golden brown around the edges when they are ready.
Once the chips are cooked, carefully remove them and garnish with parsley or chives.You can serve them as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
