With this recipe for homemade potato chips in the air fryer and by following the tips below, you'll have the crispiest, tastiest, and healthiest potato chips you've ever tried!
How to Make Potato Chips:
- Cut the potatoes as thinly as possible, ideally using a mandolin. The thinner you cut them, the faster the moisture will be removed, making them even crispier.
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for 20 minutes to remove excess starch and make them crispy.
- The potato chips must be completely dry. Pat them dry with kitchen paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Add salt and oregano or the seasoning of your choice before baking. Salt helps to remove moisture and makes them crispier.
How to Cook Homemade Potato Chips in Air Fryer:
Place the potato chips on the rack without touching each other, without parchment paper, silicone mold, or tray. To ensure even cooking, the air must circulate freely, and you should flip them every few minutes. Otherwise, the moisture won't be removed, and they may resemble like boiled.
