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
- Slice and soak: 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 and ensure crispiness.
- Rinse and dry: Drain the starchy ice water and rinse the potato slices under fresh cold water. Then, spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and pat them very dry using another paper towel.
- Oil coating: Spray the dried potato slices evenly on both sides with the olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to prepare for cooking.
- Air fry chips: Place a single layer of coated potato slices into the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry for 15 minutes, shaking the basket about halfway through to ensure even cooking. Check during the last 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Season and garnish: Once cooked, place the chips on a serving plate and sprinkle with seasoned salt while still hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives for extra flavor and color.
Notes
- Soaking potatoes in ice water removes starch, which helps the chips become crispier.
- Patting the potatoes completely dry is essential to avoid soggy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even air circulation and crisping.
- If you have a smaller air fryer, cook the chips in multiple batches for best results.
- You can experiment with other seasonings such as smoked paprika or garlic powder for varied flavors.
