Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large potatoes Russet potatoes work well for crispiness.
  • Olive oil spray For misting the potato slices.
  • Salt To taste.
Optional Seasonings
  • Pepper For added flavor.
  • Garlic powder For additional seasoning.
  • Paprika For a smoky flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and slice the potatoes very thinly, aiming for about 1/16 inch using a mandoline for uniformity.
  2. Place the slices in a bowl of cold water and soak for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain the potato slices and lay them out on clean kitchen towels or paper towels. Pat them completely dry.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly mist both sides of the potato slices with olive oil spray.
  3. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, sprinkle with salt and optional seasonings.
  4. Cook for 15–20 minutes, checking and shaking the basket about halfway through.
  5. Look for golden-brown edges and pale, translucent centers.
  6. Remove chips that are done and transfer the remaining to a cooling rack or plate in a single layer.
  7. Let the chips cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, slice uniformly, dry thoroughly after soaking, and don't overcrowd the basket. Serve warm or at room temperature with dips like garlic aioli or ketchup.
