How to cook chips in air fryer
Cooking chips in an air fryer is a great way to enjoy crispy and delicious fries with less oil compared to traditional deep frying. Here's a simple recipe to cook chips in an air fryer:
Ingredients
- Potatoes (russet or other suitable variety)
- Cooking oil (such as olive oil or vegetable oil)
- Salt (to taste)
- Seasonings (optional, such as paprika, garlic powder, or herbs)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set the temperature of your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks or wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. You can use a knife or a mandoline slicer to achieve uniform thickness.
- Soak the potatoes (optional): If you want to remove some of the starch and achieve crispier results, you can soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain and pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Season the potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the cut potatoes with a small amount of oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Add salt and any desired seasonings, and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Arrange the chips in the air fryer: Place the seasoned potato chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation for even cooking. You might need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the chips: Slide the basket into the air fryer and set the timer for 15-20 minutes. Cook the chips, pausing halfway through to shake or flip them for even browning. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the chips and the specific air fryer model you're using. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking or burning.
- Check for doneness: After the set time, check the chips for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside. If needed, you can cook them for a few more minutes for extra crispiness.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the chips are cooked to your desired crispness, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Season with additional salt or seasonings if desired, and serve them hot.Remember, the cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer model and personal preference. It's best to keep an eye on the chips as they cook to ensure they don't overcook or burn. Enjoy your homemade air-fried chips!
