Ingredients
Potatoes
- 4 large Russet Potatoes
Seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- Slice Potatoes: Using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife, carefully slice the potatoes into thin 1/8 inch slices for even cooking.
- Soak Slices: Place the potato slices in a medium bowl filled with water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and prevents sticking.
- Rinse and Dry: After soaking, drain the water, rinse the potato slices again in cold water, and pat them completely dry using paper towels to ensure crispiness.
- Season: Toss the dry potato slices in olive oil until evenly coated and sprinkle with salt for flavor.
- Air Fry: Working in batches, arrange the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispness. Watch for a golden brown color as an indicator of doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and place them on paper towels to cool slightly. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley flakes or add a pinch more salt to taste before serving.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes is important to remove starch and achieve crispier chips.
- Pat drying the slices thoroughly before air frying prevents soggy chips.
- Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the slices and the specific air fryer model.
- Use fresh rosemary or other herbs as an additional garnish for flavor variation.
