Chips in Air Fryer
Equipment
- Air Fryer Basket Liners
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes You can substitute them with pre-packaged floury potatoes (70g or 1½ lbs).
- Olive oil cooking spray You can substitute it with any neutral oil spray
- 1 tbsp corn flour
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Fresh parsley It is optional
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Start off by peeling and slicing potatoes into chips. You can cut them into 1cm thick or thin slices.
- In the meantime, preheat the air fryer to about 360 degrees Fahrenheit or 160 degrees Celsius.
- Take a bowl and rinse these potatoes in cold water. Drain the water and pat dry the potatoes. This step will get rid of unnecessary starch.
- Next, add the chips into the bowl and toss them with the corn flour. Keep mixing until all the potatoes are coated with corn flour.
- In the bowl, add oil, pepper, salt, and paprika, and toss everything again until the potatoes are coated with the mixture.
- Now, spray the air fryer basket with the cooking spray. Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer in a single layer at 190 degrees Celsius or 375 degrees Celsius. Cook them for 20 minutes and shake the basket after quick intervals.
- Once the time is complete, sprinkle salt and pepper on the chips and serve them however you like.
