Potato Chips
- 2 large baking potatoes Russet potatoes, sliced into 1/8-inch slices
- 6 cups ice water
- 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
- Soak Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes into a large bowl with the ice water and allow them to soak for 20 minutes to remove as much of the potato starch as possible.
- Drain and Rinse: Drain the starchy water and rinse the potato slices under fresh cold water to clean away residual starch.
- Dry Potatoes: Lay the potato slices onto a large baking sheet lined with paper towels in an even layer; use another paper towel to pat the slices very dry, then remove the paper towels from the tray.
- Oil the Slices: Spray the dried potato slices evenly on both sides with the non-aerosol olive oil cooking spray to prepare them for frying.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure a hot cooking environment for crisp chips.
- Arrange in Basket: Place a single layer of the olive oil-coated potato slices into the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding or overlapping; cook in batches if needed.
- Air Fry: Air fry the potato slices for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking; monitor during the last 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Season: Transfer the cooked chips to a serving plate and immediately sprinkle with seasoned salt while still hot for maximum flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives before serving to add a fresh herbal note.
Notes
- Soaking the potato slices in ice water is essential to remove excess starch and achieve crispy chips.
- Patting the potatoes dry thoroughly before spraying oil prevents soggy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; you can use other spices like paprika or garlic powder as alternatives.
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato slices to ensure even cooking.
- Serve immediately for best texture as chips may lose crispiness when stored.
