Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (1)

Air fryer potato chips are one of my go-to recipes as a busy mom. Trust me when I say I understand the hardship of feeding picky eaters who actively resist anything remotely healthy. My boys (husband included) sing their praises over these chips, and I never feel bad about serving them. That’s a win-win.

Whether you’re seasoned with the air fryer or just beginning to tap into its powers, this recipe is going to find its way into your weekly rotation. Instead of buying fatty, preservative-heavy potato chips from the grocery store, you can whip up a batch of homemade whenever a craving hits.

The best part? You’ll have so much fun customizing the seasoning. Let’s get started!

Shopping around for a new air fryer? There are undoubtedly so many air fryers on the market, with new models popping up each day. If you’re looking for a good recommendation, the COSORI Air Fryer XL is my latest obsession. It has 13 different presets and a tray big enough to feed a family of four.

How to Make Air Fryer Potato Chips

Making air fryer potato chips only requires a handful of wholesome ingredients and a few simple steps. Below, find a high-level overview of the recipe before you dive in.

  • Thinly Slice the Potatoes: Using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer (recommended!), cut your potatoes into thin slices.
  • Soak the Potatoes: Place the potato slices in cold water to remove excess starch. Soak the potatoes for around 20 minutes.
  • Drain and Season the Potatoes: Drain the water from the potato slices with a colander. Using paper towels, pat the potatoes dry of any excess moisture. Season them generously with sea salt and a tiny bit of olive oil.
  • Air Fry the Potatoes: Place potato slices into the air fryer basket in one or two layers. Air fry them at 200°F for 20 minutes. Toss the potato chips and turn up the heat to 400°F. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Remove the potato chips from the air fryer and place them into a large bowl. Allow the chips to cool to room temperature. Enjoy!

Should I air fryer my chips in a single layer? Typically, it’s recommended that you never stack food in an air fryer. However, since the potato chips are so thin, you can get away with air frying two layers at once. Just make sure to give them a good toss during the cooking process!

Tips for Making the Best Air Fryer Potato Chips

Below, find a collection of tips and tricks to help you make the best air-fried potato chips.

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes are the best option for chips. They have slightly waxy skin and an ultra-creamy flavor.
  • Use a mandolin to cut slices as thin as possible. A mandolin slicer is a surefire way to ensure the potato chips are uniform and thin enough to get crispy.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness. The overall cooking time for your chips may vary in either direction depending on their thickness. The first time you make this recipe, keep a close eye on the chips to ensure they don’t burn.
  • Be sure to soak sliced potatoes in cold water before air frying. Always soak potato chips in cold water before air frying to remove excess starch. This will help them crisp up nicely.
  • Remove the chips once they turn slightly brown. Don’t try to air fry your chips until they appear golden brown – they will just taste burnt. Once they turn the slightest bit of brown, remove them from the air fryer immediately.
  • Have fun and experiment with different seasonings. While chips taste great with a sprinkle of salt, they can be up-leveled with any seasoning of your choice. From BBQ to sea salt and vinegar, the possibilities are endless!

Serving Air Fryer Potato Chips

Serve air fryer potato chips as a snack all on their own for your next movie night. You can also pack them in school lunches. If you’re planning to serve them for dinner, pair them with some cheeseburger sliders or a Philly cheesesteak. If you’re looking for something to dip them into, whip up a batch of light ranch or avocado hummus.

Storing Air Fryer Potato Chips

  • Room Temperature: Store leftover potato chips in an airtight container or plastic storage bag. You can pop them in your pantry or leave them on the counter. They should stay fresh for up to two weeks.
  • Freezer: If you have leftover chips you want to freeze, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop the entire baking sheet in the freezer. Once the chips are completely frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe plastic storage bag. To reheat them, pop them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes until crispy. Cool to room temperature and enjoy!

FAQ

Why do you soak potato chips in cold water before air frying?

Soaking potato chips in cold water removes excess potato starch and makes the chips more crispy.

Why are my air fryer chips soggy?

Your air fryer chips might be soggy if you didn’t blot the potatoes after soaking and draining them. Air fry them for longer to dry them out and crisp them up.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer first?

You do not need to preheat the air fryer first. Simply set the temperature and pop the tray in.

Can I substitute russets for sweet potatoes?

You can substitute russets for sweet potatoes, but you’ll likely have to increase the cooking time to compensate.

    I used a 4qt ninja fryer to make mine, sliced 4 potatos, soaked in cold water about 15 min, blotted as much possible with paper towel, seasoned while the potato slices were damp so the seasonings would stick better, heated the air fryer 3 min at 390 degrees, layered in air fryer .. cooked 15 min, paused the air fryer, flipped the potatos and cooked another 15 min, let cool and they were browned, crisp and tasted delicious.. couldn’t ask for better

    Dont leave during the 400 phase. I did set a 5 min timer, but 1/2 mine burned to a crisp in about 2 min guessing. Glad I only made 1 potato.

    If i tried this one again, i would not go above 350

    I will probly try a recipe that is one temp stirring and flipping. I dont trusts the times or temps w this, making it impossible to review the end product. Disappointed trying a recipe with so many reviews

    DisbeliefJul 5, 2023

    This recipe did not work for me at all. I tried it more than once to make sure it wasnt user error, it's not. It makes no sense unless you have some professional grade air fryer ?? I mean, I have the top of the line, it doesn't go to 200. I'm not buying a whole new "chip rack" when there's a way for an air fryer to work without these additions. I'd like to actually see these made in an uncut video, because I have 0 faith its real

    1. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (22)

      JAlexAug 2, 2023

      I have a feeling you're not using an actual air fryer. Most air fryers go to 400.

      Hi there- What type of air fryer are you using? I use a Cosori Pro 2 and the temperature range is from 170°-400°F. I'm sorry to hear that the recipe didn't turn out for you! Another tip is to make sure you are slicing the potato really thinly, using a mandoline slicer is advised. Hope these tips help 🙂

    I am sorry to say this did not work for me. Tried twice. Chips like rubber. The dog was challenged to chew them. Don't know what went wrong.

    1. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (34)

      Natalya DrozhzhinFeb 18, 2023

      Hi there Ellen, I am wondering what could have gone wrong here.. A few important things to ensure crispy-ness are, to make sure the potatoes are thin enough and that you soak them in cold water and pat them dry before air-frying.

    I love salt and vinegar potato chips. After drying out potatoes after their water bath, should I just sprinkle on the vinegar?

      Hi Dolly, a little sprinkle would work well. Enjoy!

    AshleyAug 26, 2022

    Made these today for lunch because right now it's cheaper than buying. I have nice slicer and got them the proper thickness. Dried as best I could and followed directions. They're yum. I don't think a mandolin is needed. Depends on the size of the tater. Mine came out regular sized. Only a few had soft middles but that's okay. I love them. When they cool they can crisp a tiny more. I haven't been able to just stand in the kitchen doing stuff bc I'm so busy now but I made time for these.

    1. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (40)

      Natalya DrozhzhinAug 27, 2022

    1. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (42)

      Natalya DrozhzhinAug 10, 2022

      Hey Macie! They'll stay fresh for up to two weeks if kept in an airtight container!

  16. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (43)

    Minister PamApr 26, 2022

    You really do need a mandolin for this, unfortunately. Try to use the potato peeler and thought I was onto some thing but they shrivel up and are very bite-size chips like baby bite-size LOL. Also five minutes in the air fryer at 400 is way too long for that last bit of cooking. Mine were too brown sad face. Three minutes would’ve been much better. Good recipe otherwise, thanks!

    1. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (44)

      Natalya DrozhzhinApr 26, 2022

      Hi Pam - Thanks for sharing your feedback here. The time should definitely be adjusted depending on the thickness of the chips. It's best to watch them closely the first time you make this recipe. Hope you try it again and it works out well for you!

    CookieApr 14, 2022

    When I make potato chips, they fly all around in the air fryer. Is there a solution for that?

    1. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (46)

      yvonne jarvisFeb 5, 2023

      If you're using an oven type and don't have a chip basket, lay them on the wire shelf and place another shelf on top of them so they're sandwiched between the 2 wire racks. Both racks are on one shelf.

    2. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (47)

      Natalya DrozhzhinApr 15, 2022

      Hey Cookie, I think this would depend on the air fryer. Because the potatoes are sliced pretty thin and air fryers basically work off the fan, they may shift a bit in the basket.

    TerryMar 12, 2022

    I have an oven type air fryer and don't have a basket. Do I just layer them on the screen? If so, does the time cooking change?

    1. Air Fryer Potato Chips Recipe (52)

      Natalya DrozhzhinMar 13, 2022

      Hey Terry- I'm not sure actually, as I haven't tried using that type of air fryer. I'm assuming that yes, you would just lay them on the screen or whatever the cooking surface is, but I don't know how much you would have to adjust the cooking time.

    Threw away. Followed to the T. I have Nij** Air Fryer. Maybe it’s not meant for a multi rack. Edges were overly cooked while the center was still soft.

      Natalya DrozhzhinJan 22, 2022

      Hi, Molly! I'm sorry to hear you didn't get the results you'd hoped for. The only tips I can think of is to make sure the potatoes are very thinly sliced, and to make sure the potatoes are patted dry very well so they can get as crispy as possible. Hope you get the results you're looking for next time if you decide to give this recipe another go!

    This did not work for me at all. I made one potato (there are only two of us) sliced with a mandolin and followed the other steps. I ended up with one big stuck together potato "pancake" that was uncooked with a few that weren't stuck burnt to a crisp. Went directly in the garbage. Not sure where I went wrong.

      Hi Lee - Sorry to hear that! A couple of things could have went wrong. Did you soak your potatoes before air frying them? This process helps to remove excess starch. Also, did you shake the basket before turning up the heat to separate the potatoes? Hopefully we can figure out what went wrong.

Soaking the potatoes does something magical with the starches—it helps achieve the coveted French fry crispiness and prevents the fries from sticking together.
