AIR FRYER POTATO CHIPS
Conventional potato chips provide a salty, crisp snack but are packed with excess fat because they are fried. These chips still provide a salty crispness but are made in an air fryer. The seasoning is just what I wanted, but you can use a ranch seasoning, truffle salt, garlic salt, etc. as well.

AIR FRYER POTATO CHIPS
These crunchy air-fryer potato chips are a salty, satisfying snack that's a cinch to cook up. A mandoline makes fast work of slicing the potatoes paper thin. Rinsing the sliced potatoes before cooking will remove most of the natural starch and prevent the chips from sticking together--don't skip this step.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline, about 1/16 inch thick. Transfer to a medium bowl and run under cold water until almost all the white starch comes off and the water runs clear. Dry well between a couple paper towels. Dry the bowl as well.
- Add the dry potatoes back to the dry bowl and toss with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 320 degrees F. Shingle the potatoes in the bottom of the basket; it's okay if there are two layers. Cook until the potatoes are deep golden brown around the edges and crisp, tossing every 5 minutes with tongs so they're evenly cooked, about 30 minutes. If you notice a few slices are finished cooking and completely crisp before others, remove to a large bowl and continue cooking the remaining pieces.
- Season the chips with a pinch of salt. Serve immediately or let cool and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Steps:
- Place vinegar in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Drain potatoes but do not rinse. Arrange potato slices on the baking sheet, making sure none are overlapping. Cover the top of the potatoes with paper towels. Repeat layers until all potatoes have been dried.
- Preheat an air fryer oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Place the basket rack in the top slot. This will act as a shield so that the fan does not blow the chips around once they start to fry.
- Arrange potatoes slices on the remaining 3 racks and lightly sprinkle with salt. Place racks in the air fryer oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the top rack of chips and transfer chips to a plate. Set timer for 2 more minutes and then remove the next highest rack of chips. Set timer for 1 minute for the final rack of chips. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Look for starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold, as they yield crispier chips.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This ensures even cooking and crispy texture.
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes: This removes excess starch, resulting in crispier chips.
- Dry the potato slices thoroughly before air frying: This prevents steaming and promotes even crisping.
- Toss the potato slices with oil and seasonings of your choice: This adds flavor and helps the chips crisp up.
- Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before adding the potato slices: This ensures the chips cook evenly.
- Shake the air fryer basket occasionally during cooking: This helps the chips cook evenly and prevents them from sticking together.
- Cook the potato slices until they are golden brown and crispy: The exact cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the slices and the power of your air fryer.
- Serve the potato chips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: Enjoy them while they're hot and crispy!
