Ingredients
POTATOES: The best potato chips start with the best potatoes! Russets are high in starch so they fry up golden brown. Plus, they are easy to find and less expensive than other varieties. Choose potatoes that are similar in size so they cook at the same rate.
SEASONINGS: Air fryer potato chips have to be seasoned! Keep it simple with basic salt and pepper or sprinkle on whatever blend sounds best!
Variations
- For a healthier take on potato chips, slice, and season sweet potatoes! They come out just as crisp and crunchy and have a unique savory-sweet flavor!
- Instead of regular oil, toss potatoes in melted bacon grease and some sea salt for a tasty bacon flavor!
- When air fryer potato chips are done, sprinkle on some parmesan cheese, taco seasoning, bbq seasoning, or even Ranch dressing mix!
How to Make Potato Chips in the Air Fryer

Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Cut the potatoes thin or thick, then simply adjust the fry time!
- Soaking the potato slices in ice water removes some of the starch so they fry up extra crispy.
- Always make sure the air fryer is preheated to the right temperature before adding any food.
- Potato chips benefit from high temperatures and a few basket shakes to make them just right! Start by testing a few to get the temperature and times right.
- After they are removed from the air fryer, set them in a single layer on paper towels to soak up any extra oil. This keeps them from getting soggy.
