Air Fryer Potato Chips
Ingredients:
- 2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and thinly sliced (use a mandoline slicer for even slices)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite seasoning
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
- Prepare Potatoes:

- In a bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket:
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry:
- Cook the potato slices in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Check for Crispiness:
- Check the potato chips for crispiness. You can extend the cooking time if needed until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
- Remove and Cool:
- Once the potato chips are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the air-fried potato chips immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dip.
Air fryer potato chips are a delicious and healthier snack option. Experiment with different seasonings to customize the flavor to your liking. Enjoy your crispy homemade chips!
