Potato Chips in Air Fryer Ingredients

- Grapeseed Oil Spray or any other high-heat oil spray (NOT olive oil)

Tips for Making Crispy Air Fryer Potato Chips
Nothing’s better than a couple tips and tricks to make a recipe the very best it can be. Here are a couple you need to jot down so that your chips are the most airy, crispy and crunchy they can possibly be!
- Slice them thinly: This is VERY important! Slicing your russet potato thinly and uniform will ensure that they cook evenly and are crispy all over!
- Pat them dry but not too much: You don’t want to put them in the air fryer totally soggy, but don’t press out too much moisture either!
Can I make Air Fryer Potato Chips with any kind of potato?
For this recipe, if you are wanting to make the chips with a different type of potato, it should work well! I have only tried it using russet potatoes but if you try another kind, feel free to let me know how it goes for you- you may need to adjust cooking time a little.
Storage
These crispy crunchy potato chips are easy to make and easy to store! Leave them out to crisp up on the counter overnight after you make them, and then transfer them to either an airtight container or a zip lock back. They will last this way for about a week!
Main dishes to serve with Chips
This is the BEST of all air fryer potato chips recipes! Now that we know how to make them, let’s think up some delicious mains to serve up with them! Chicken goes great with potatoes, so I recommend cooking some air fryer chicken nuggets or crispy breaded air fryer chicken breast and some yummy dipping sauce to go with these chips. If you want to keep the air fryer theme going strong, add a side of air fryer roasted asian broccoli and call it a meal!
Air Fryer Chips FAQ
Absolutely, they do! Air fryers don’t use high quantities of oil like deep fryers do, but that doesn’t mean your food will be soggy and flavorless! Air fryers use air to cook and crisp up the potatoes to make perfectly crunchy, better-for-you potato chips!
These air fryer chips take approximately 10-15 minutes to cook in the air fryer! After cooking, they will need to sit out to crisp up a bit at room temperature.
If your finished result is soft or soggy, it simply means that you didn’t remove enough water from the potato slices before cooking! Don’t skip this very important step.
Doin’ the healthy air fryer potato chip dance all day long.
I also shared the air fryer potato chips recipe on Food Fanatic, so be sure to peep it there!
Ingredients
- 1 Large Russet Potato, very thinly sliced (about 1/16 of an inch), about 400 grams
- Grapeseed Oil Cooking Spray or any high-heat oil spray, not olive oil
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Use a paper towel to lightly press out just a little bit of the moisture from the potatoes slices.
- Spray the mesh basket of your air fryer with the oil spray and place the potatoes in a single layer inside. You will have to do this in batches.
- Spray the tops of the potatoes with the oil spray and sprinkle with salt. Turn your air fryer to 350°F and cook until the edges of the potatoes are crispy and the potatoes are golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
- Remove the chips from the air fryer and let cool.
- DEVOUR!
Tips & Notes:
- I used my mandolin to make this super easy, and got them just under 1/16 inch thick.

Taylor Kiser says
Girl you would LOVE an air fryer! I am obsessed!
lorena says
Have you tried zuchinni?? Just got my air fryer this weekend and I’m dying to try those!
Taylor Kiser says
I haven’t! But I honestly think it would be hard to get it crispy – it’s so watery!
Teresa says
Oh no it is crisp and delish
Karen says
Not if you sweat the zuke!
Beverly Saffmond says
Yes,
Be warned… if you don’t have perfect 20/20 vision (and even if you do) good luck reading the temperature dial. The numbers are ridiculously small. I have to have my husband or kids read it for me because I can’t see them. Huge flaw!! I have (with the assistance of my family) used it and I do like it, it cooked the food fast and it was delicious but I really shouldn’t have to have a family member read the settings for me.
Thanks, Beverly Saffmond

“Undercooking them JUST slightly and letting them drive overnight yields perfect results!” – Does this mean I have to put them in the car and take them for a spin all night long?
Taylor Kiser says
HAHHAH typo. Thanks!
Penny says
Why do these two ingredient chips have three ingredients?
Taylor Kiser says
Salt is not considered and ingredient as everyone has it
Sherry says
This looks like a great recipe! Can’t wait to try it. Do you think they’d crisp up better if I soaked them in cold water first, like French fries?
Taylor Kiser says
You can try it! Let us know what happens!
Just wondering says
Do you soak your potatoes after slicing them withy your mandolin? I’ve seen several recipes requiring soak times up to 20 minutes but drying them afterwards is a pain.
Taylor Kiser says
Nope – just follow the exact directions!
Debra says
I LOVE my air fryer. If you haven’t tried fried Oreos they are to DIE for!
Taylor Kiser says
YUM!!!
Max says
I have a Breville and 5 minutes at 450 almost burnt these to a crisp! 🙁
Taylor Kiser says
I’m sorry Max! It’s hard to create recipes to work across all kitchen appliances!
Janet says
Thanks for you recipe! I made potato chips tonight and family loved them! We like spicy so I used Creole Seasoning instead of salt yum.
Taylor Kiser says
Glad you liked!
Phyllis says
I just bought an air fryer electric oven. What temperature do you air fry the chips at. I didn’t see it in the recipe.
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Phyllis! The temperature is listed in the recipe card instructions:
“Turn your air fryer to 350°F and cook until the edges of the potatoes are crispy and the potatoes are golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.”
