Make crunchy, golden homemade potato chips using your air fryer. This recipe offers a simple, healthier alternative to store-bought chips, ready quickly with minimal oil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes. Aim for slices about 1/16 inch thick. You can use a mandoline for consistent thickness.
  2. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain the water and pat the potato slices completely dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispiness.
  3. In a clean bowl, toss the dry potato slices with the olive oil, kosher salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 12 to 18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Cooking time varies based on the air fryer model and chip thickness.
  7. Remove the chips and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. They will crisp up more as they cool.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two days.

Notes

  • For salt and vinegar flavor, toss the cooked chips with 1 teaspoon of white vinegar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of salt immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  • If you do not have an air fryer, you can bake these chips on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Use Russet potatoes for the best texture when making homemade potato chips.
