Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes if you like.
- Slice the potatoes very thinly using a sharp knife or slicer.
- Put the slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes. This helps remove extra starch and makes them crispier.
- Drain and dry the potatoes very well with a clean kitchen towel.
- Put the potato slices in a bowl. Add oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the potato slices in the basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 4–5 minutes.
- Keep checking near the end because thin slices can burn quickly.
- Remove the crispy chips and let them cool for a few minutes. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Tip
For the crispiest chips, make the potato slices as thin and even as possible, and cook them in small batches.
