Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes Russet potatoes, sliced into ⅛-inch slices
- 6 cups ice water
- Non-Aerosol olive oil cooking spray no propellants and no additives
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt Lawry’s brand
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Slice and soak: Place the thinly sliced potatoes into a large bowl with the ice water. Allow them to soak for 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and rinse: Drain the starchy water and rinse the potato slices under fresh cold water to remove residual starch.
- Dry the potatoes: Spread the potato slices evenly on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and pat them very dry with another paper towel.
- Oil the slices: Spray both sides of the dried potato slices evenly with non-aerosol olive oil cooking spray.
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F ensuring it is ready for optimal cooking.
- Air fry in batches: Place a single layer of the oiled potato slices into the air fryer basket without overcrowding. You may need 2-3 batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Cook the chips: Air fry the potato slices for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Check at the last 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Season and serve: Transfer the hot chips to a serving plate, sprinkle with seasoned salt, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
- Store the chips in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly with cool water before slicing, no peeling necessary.
- Soak half the slices while finishing the first batches for efficiency when making larger quantities.
- Use two baking sheets during preparation—one for drying and one for oiling—to streamline the process.
- Seasoned salt adds flavor, but fine sea salt can be used as an alternative.
