Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or your favorite seasoning
Instructions
- Scrub and slice potatoes thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. We’re going for see-through here.
- Soak slices in cold water for 30 minutes. Trust me, this makes 'em crisp.
- Drain and pat dry completely. No soggy chips allowed.
- Toss slices in olive oil and salt. Add your favorite seasonings if you’re feeling fancy.
- Preheat air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
- Place potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd.

- Let them cool a bit (if you can wait). Serve with dip or devour plain.
