Potato Chips
- 2 large baking potatoes Russet potatoes, sliced into 1/8-inch slices
- 6 cups ice water
- Non-Aerosol olive oil cooking spray, no propellants and no additives
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (Lawry’s brand)
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Soak Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes into a large bowl with the ice water and allow them to soak for 20 minutes to remove as much starch as possible.
- Drain and Rinse: Drain the starchy ice water and rinse the potato slices under fresh cold water.
- Dry Potatoes: Place the potato slices onto a large baking sheet lined with paper towels, spread evenly, and pat very dry using another paper towel.
- Oil the Slices: Spray the dried potato slices evenly on both sides with olive oil cooking spray.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Air Fry Chips: Place a single layer of olive oil-coated potato slices into the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Check the chips during the last 2-3 minutes to avoid burning.
- Season: Transfer the potato chips to a serving plate and sprinkle with seasoned salt while still hot.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives and serve immediately.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes in ice water for at least 20 minutes removes excess starch and helps achieve crispier chips.
- Patting the slices thoroughly dry before frying is crucial to get a crispy texture.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook the chips in 2-3 batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- You can experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne for varied flavors.
- Use Russet potatoes for best results as they have a high starch content suitable for chips.
