Equipment

Steps

1
Slice potatoes paper-thin (1/16 inch) using a mandoline. Soak in cold water 15 minutes, then drain and pat very dry.
2
Toss with olive oil and salt. Arrange in a single layer — no overlapping.
3
Air fry at 360°F for 15-18 minutes, checking and removing chips as they turn golden. They cook unevenly — thin ones finish first.
4
Cool on a wire rack — they crisp up significantly as they cool.
5
Season while warm and store in an airtight container.

💡

Tip: Mandoline is essential — you cannot cut thin enough by hand. Soaking removes starch for crispier chips. Check frequently near the end; they go from golden to burnt in seconds. Cook in batches.
