Crispy Air Fryer Potato Chips

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Potato Chips.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a mandoline slicer and carefully slice your peeled potato into thin, even rounds using the thinnest setting.

2. Step 2

   This will help create those perfectly crispy chips we all love.

3. Step 3

   Once you’ve sliced them up, place the potato rounds in a bowl of water and let them soak for about 15 minutes.

4. Step 4

   This step is key, as it helps remove excess starch, ensuring your chips turn out nice and crispy.

5. Step 5

   After the first soak, drain the water, refill the bowl with fresh water, and let the slices soak for another 15 minutes.

6. Step 6

   While your potatoes are soaking, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes.

7. Step 7

   This will get it nice and hot, ready to work its magic.

8. Step 8

   Don’t forget to spray the air fryer basket with a bit of cooking spray to keep those chips from sticking.

9. Step 9

   Once the soaking time is up, drain the potato slices and give them a good pat down with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.

10. Step 10

    Now, sprinkle some smoked Cheddar salt over the slices and toss them gently to ensure every piece is coated in that delicious flavor.

11. Step 11

    Next, arrange the potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them.

12. Step 12

    A little space goes a long way in achieving that perfect crunch! Lightly spray the tops of the slices with cooking spray for an extra crispy finish.

13. Step 13

    Air fry the potato slices for 8 minutes, then give the basket a good shake to promote even cooking.

14. Step 14

    Keep air frying for another 7 minutes, or until your chips are golden brown and irresistibly crispy.

15. Step 15

    Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent any burning.

16. Step 16

    Once they’re done, let the aroma fill your kitchen and enjoy your homemade crispy potato chips!.
