Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large potatoes Thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For coating
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the potatoes very thinly — aim for about 1/16 inch using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
  2. Place the slices in a bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove surface starch.
  3. Drain the slices and pat them dry with clean towels.
Cooking
  1. Toss the dry slices in a bowl with enough olive oil to lightly coat each slice and a pinch of salt.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  4. Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the slices gently halfway through.
  5. Check for golden edges and blistering; chips will be evenly golden and snap when slightly cooled.
  6. Transfer chips to a cooling rack or paper towel and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm for the best crunch. Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. To restore crispness, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for a couple of minutes.
