Crispy, crunchy, and lighter than traditional fried potato chips, these homemade air fryer potato chips are easy to make with simple ingredients and customizable seasoning options.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Slice potatoes paper-thin and evenly using a mandolin or sharp knife (approximately 1/8 inch thickness if knife is used, thinner slices if using a mandolin).
  2. Rinse the potato slices and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain the slices and pat them completely dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
  4. Toss the dry potato slices with olive oil and salt (or other desired seasonings).
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
  6. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  7. Air fry, checking every 5 minutes to flip the slices for even browning; cook thin slices for about 8-10 minutes and thicker 1/8 inch slices for 20-30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
  8. Transfer the chips to a wire rack and allow them to cool for a few minutes to further crisp before serving.

Notes

Adjust cooking time depending on thickness of potato slices., Flipping slices every 5 minutes ensures even cooking and browning., Soaking and drying the potatoes thoroughly is essential to achieve crispy chips., If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the seasoned slices on a wire rack over a baking sheet at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through., You can omit oil for oil-free chips, but they may be less crispy., Store cooled chips in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to one week to maintain crispness., Try seasoning variations like rosemary and garlic, smoked paprika and sea salt, sour cream and onion powder, parmesan and black pepper, ranch seasoning mix, Cajun seasoning, sweet chili and lime zest, or BBQ spice blends.
