Remove the potatoes from the air fryer, and repeat the process with the remaining potatoes. If desired, sprinkle the chips with minced fresh parsley.
Editor’s Tip: Every once in a while, lightweight items can get whisked up by the air fryer’s powerful fan. If you hear a weird noise, a potato chip may have flown into the heating element. Open the air-fryer drawer, and give the basket a shake. You can also pick out the already-done chips so they don’t burn.
Recipe Variations
Black pepper: Give the chips a little kick with ground black pepper. Add it when you season the potato chips with salt.
Salt and vinegar: Sprinkle the chips with distilled white vinegar powder after cooking.
Sour cream and onion: After cooking, dust the chips with a mixture of buttermilk powder and onion powder. Ranch dressing and dip mix also works here, but it adds a more assertive flavor.
Barbecue chips: After cooking, toss the chips with barbecue seasoning or a dry rub. Feel free to add extra cayenne or chili powder to adjust the spice level according to your preferences.
Dill: Swap in chopped fresh dill for the parsley to give the chips a dill-pickle spin.
Cheese: Use a Microplane grater to add finely grated Parmesan to the cooked chips. To keep the recipe vegan, you can use nutritional yeast instead (although you may need to spritz the chips with water first to help the powder stick).
How to Store Air-Fryer Potato Chips
Store the chips in a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. You can freeze leftover air-fryer chips in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw the chips on the counter before serving.
If the chips lose their crispy edge, pop them in the air fryer for a few minutes to warm them through.
Air-Fryer Potato Chips Tips
Why are my air-fryer chips soggy and not crispy?
If your air-fryer chips are soggy, throw them back into the air fryer to cook a little more. Internal temperatures vary among air-fryer brands, so air-fryer cooking times may vary. You may need to cook your chips a little longer than suggested. Start checking the potatoes at the shortest suggested time, and check back a little later if it’s not done.
Are air-fried chips healthier than oven chips?
Air-fried food isn’t necessarily healthy or healthier than other foods, but it typically requires less cooking oil than pan-fried or deep-fried dishes.
What else can I make in my air fryer?
Any food meant to be deep-fried can be made in an air fryer, such as fried chicken, doughnut holes and jalapeno poppers. You can also use your air fryer to bake things like oatmeal cookies, bread pudding and even pork chops!
