Ingredients
2 large russet potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions
1. Slice potatoes very thin (use a mandoline for best results).
2. Soak slices in cold water for 20 minutes to remove starch.

6. Arrange chips in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
7. Air fry for 18–22 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
Notes / Tips
Dry potatoes VERY well — moisture = soft chips.
Do not overcrowd — chips need space to crisp.
Slice evenly thin for consistent texture.
Add salt after cooking for extra crispiness.
Variations
Garlic Parmesan: add parmesan + garlic powder after cooking.
Spicy: add chili powder or cayenne before cooking.
BBQ: toss with BBQ seasoning after cooking.
