PRESENTATION

Recipe by
Rosella Errante

Crispy Air Fryer Potato Chips come out golden and snappy, with a drier, lighter texture than deep-fried — close enough in crunch that the difference is hard to argue with. They're thinner and crispier than a standard air fryer potato, which shows up in the snap: these shatter rather than bend. Because they stay dry rather than greasy, something bright alongside helps.

They work just as well set out for drinks as they do grabbed between meals, which makes them one of those rare snacks that fits almost any occasion without much fuss. Mayonnaise or ketchup work fine, but a quick dipping sauce of Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon, and black pepper keeps things feeling fresh and cuts through the richness without weighing anything down. Either way, the chips hold their crunch long enough to make it to the table — good as a between-meal bite or set out with drinks at a casual home spread.

How to prepare Crispy Air Fryer Potato Chips

To prepare the air fryer potato chips, wash the potatoes well. Slice them thinly using a mandoline 1, without peeling, to obtain a thickness of about 1/8 in (3 mm) 2. Place them in a bowl and cover with cold water 3.

Soak them for about 20 minutes 4. Meanwhile, wash the rosemary and finely chop the needles 5. Drain the potato slices well and dry them using 2 clean kitchen towels 6.

Put them into a food-safe plastic bag, spray them lightly with a little oil 7 and shake the bag well, then season with the herbs 8 and the spices 9.

Shake the bag again to distribute the seasonings evenly 10. Pour the potatoes into the air fryer basket 11 and cook at 446°F (230°C) for about 30 minutes. Check the surface browning halfway through cooking and gently shake the basket 12. If necessary, spray them with a little oil.

Once ready 13, salt 14 and serve your air fryer potato chips hot 15.

Storage

We recommend eating the potatoes immediately. If you have cooked leftovers, spritz them lightly with a little vinegar and let them rest for a couple of hours at room temperature before serving — they will make a great side dish.

Tip

The potatoes were cooked in a 30-liter (approx. 32-qt) air fryer; if you own a smaller fryer, we recommend cooking them in 2 batches at the highest temperature available.
