Potatoes
- 2 large baking potatoes Russet potatoes, sliced into 1/8-inch slices
Soaking
- 6 cups ice water
Seasoning and Garnish
- 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
- Soak Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes into a large bowl with the ice water and allow them to soak for 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Rinse and Drain: Drain the starchy ice water and rinse the potato slices under fresh cold water to wash away remaining starch.
- Dry Potatoes: Spread the potato slices in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat them very dry with another paper towel to remove moisture.
- Oil the Slices: Spray both sides of the dried potato slices evenly with the non-aerosol olive oil cooking spray for a light coating.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to prepare for cooking the chips.
- Air Fry in Batches: Place a single layer of oiled potato slices into the air fryer basket without overcrowding; cook in 2-3 batches if necessary.
- Cook and Shake: Air fry the potato chips for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and checking the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Season and Serve: Transfer the hot chips to a serving plate and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes in ice water is essential for removing starch which helps achieve crispiness.
- Patting the slices dry thoroughly helps prevent soggy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow air circulation and even cooking.
- If you don’t have non-aerosol spray, lightly brush olive oil on the slices as an alternative.
- Use Russet potatoes for best texture and crispiness in potato chips.
- Monitor the last few minutes of air frying closely as chips can burn quickly.
- Seasoned salt enhances flavor, but you can use regular salt or other seasonings to taste.
- Optional fresh herbs add brightness and a pop of color as garnish.
