Make perfectly crunchy, golden potato chips at home using your air fryer. This easy recipe delivers a healthier snack that beats store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline slicer to about 1/16 inch thickness.
  2. Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps achieve maximum crispiness.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. Moisture prevents crisping.
  4. In a clean bowl, toss the dried potato slices with the olive oil until lightly coated.
  5. In a small dish, mix the kosher salt, garlic powder, and paprika for your seasoning blend.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  8. Air fry for 12 to 18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Cooking time varies by air fryer model.
  9. Remove the chips from the air fryer and immediately toss them with half of the prepared seasoning mix.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining potato slices and seasoning.
  11. Serve immediately for the best crunch.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can soak the slices in ice water for 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly.
  • If you prefer a salt and vinegar flavor, substitute 1 teaspoon of white vinegar for the olive oil, then toss with salt after cooking.
  • Do not skip drying the potatoes; this is key for crispy homemade potato chips.
