Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes Russet potatoes, sliced into 1/8-inch slices
- 6 cups ice water
- Non-Aerosol olive oil cooking spray no propellants and no additives
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt Lawry’s brand
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Slice and soak potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes into a large bowl with the ice water. Allow the potato slices to soak for 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Rinse and dry: Drain the starchy water and rinse the potatoes under cold water. Lay them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, spread in an even layer, and pat thoroughly dry using another paper towel.
- Oil the slices: Spray both sides of the dried potato slices evenly with the olive oil cooking spray.
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F, ensuring it's ready for cooking.
- Air fry chips: Place a single layer of the oiled potato slices in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Check frequently during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Season and serve: Transfer the chips to a serving plate while hot, sprinkle evenly with seasoned salt, and garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
- Store air fryer chips in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For best texture and flavor, serve chips immediately as they do not retain freshness like store-bought chips.
- Wash potatoes with cool water and no soap; peeling is not necessary before slicing.
- When making large batches, keep some potato slices soaking in cold water while air frying others to maintain freshness.
- Using two baking sheets—one for drying slices and one for oiling—can streamline batch preparation.
- Seasoned salt adds great flavor, but fine sea salt is a good alternative.
