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

  1. Scrub and slice potatoes thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. We’re going for see-through here.
  2. Soak slices in cold water for 30 minutes. Trust me, this makes 'em crisp.
  3. Drain and pat dry completely. No soggy chips allowed.
  4. Toss slices in olive oil and salt. Add your favorite seasonings if you’re feeling fancy.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
  6. Place potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd.
  7. Air fry for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway. Keep an eye on them near the end—they go from golden to gone real quick.
  8. Let them cool a bit (if you can wait). Serve with dip or devour plain.
