Nothing beats Homemade Air fryer potato chips and snacking on its salty crispy caramelized edges. I love this recipe for its delicious taste and simplicity. There’s nothing else here besides salt, vinegar, and potatoes. And some pepper too. Yum!
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes. I use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Thinly sliced. About ⅛ of an inch (2-3 mm) in thickness.
- 2 cups distilled white vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Scrub and rinse potatoes. Leave the skins on (Optional).
- Using a sharp knife, thinly slice potatoes. About ⅛ inch thick (2-3 mm). Alternatively, you can use the potato mandoline slicer.
- Rinse the potato slices under running water. This helps to rid of the starch.
- In a small pot, combine the potato slices, vinegar, and one tablespoon of salt. If vinegar does not cover potatoes by at least ¼ inch, top it up with cold water until it does.
- Bring to boil, lower the heat, and simmer until fork-tender. About 5 minutes.
- Let cool in the vinegar liquid for 15 minutes.
- Drain well and pat the potatoes dry with paper towels.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380F/190C.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil. Alternatively, you can spritz them with oil spray. I use the Ghee spray oil.
- Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry mode until lightly browned on top, about 5 minutes. Then flip each slice and air fry until golden brown, with crispy edges and caramelized spots. About 4-5 minutes more.
- Serve with Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sauce or Chipotle dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips
- Use starchy potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These varieties will produce chips that are nice and crispy.
- Cut the potatoes thinly, using a mandoline if possible. If the potatoes are too thick, they won’t get crispy enough when cooked.
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 15 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove some of the starch, which will make for crispier chips.
- Fry the potato slices in the air fryer until golden brown. Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the chips will stick together and won’t get crispy.
- Sprinkle potato chips with more salt, if desired. While they’re still hot.
