Servings: 5 (1 cup) servings
Calories: 66kcal
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
- Place the thinly sliced potatoes into a large bowl with the ice water.
- Allow the potato slices to soak for 15-20 minutes. This helps to remove as much of the potato starch as possible.
- Drain the starchy ice water and rinse the potato slices under fresh cold water.
- Place the potato slices onto a large baking sheet lined with paper towels, and spread them into an even layer.
- Using another paper towel, pat the potato slices very dry. Remove the paper towels from the tray of potatoes.
- Spray the dried potato slices evenly, on both sides, with the olive oil spray.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place a single layer of olive oil-coated potatoes into the basket of your air fryer. Be sure not to overcrowd, or overlap, your potato slices. You will need to make 2-3 batches of air fryer chips if you have a smaller air fryer.
- Air fry your potato chips for 15 minutes. You will need to shake your basket about halfway through to make sure that all the surface area of each chip is frying. Be sure to check your chips for the last 2-3 minutes of air frying to make sure that none of your chips are burning.
- Place your air fryer potato chips onto a serving plate and sprinkle with the seasoned salt while they are still hot.
- You can garnish your chips with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chopped chives if desired.

Notes
Storage:
- To Store: You can store your air fryer chips in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- These air fryer potato chips are best served immediately. These will not last very well, like a store-bought potato chip, as they have no preservatives added for storage and freshness.
- You will need to gently scrub the outside of your potatoes with cool water (no soap needed). You do not need to peel your potatoes before slicing and air frying.
- If you are making a large batch of air fryer potatoes, you can keep half your potato slices soaking in the cold water while you are air frying your first 1-2 batches. You can rinse and dry them as you prepare to air fry them.
- If you have two large baking sheets, you can use one of them for drying the potato slices and the other for spraying oil onto the potato slices. This will help if you are working in batches.
- I love the addition of seasoned salt (you can use any type of seasoned salt you enjoy), but a standard fine sea salt would be just as delicious.
