Air Fryer Chips

 One of the best aspects of owning an air fryer is that you can make fried treats without all that oil and calories. One of the best is potato chips, the perfect snack or side. They're easy to do with very little prep time.

I had two Russet potatoes that were just begging to be cut up and made into something tasty.Why not chips that have the crunch of a regular potato chip but with the mealy thickness of a French fry. The idea came from a recipe from Taste of Home.I had them sliced into varying thicknesses just to experiment.

The two spuds yielded two bowls of chips as you can see. It was then soaking them in a cold water bath for fifteen minutes.

Then draining them and then another cold water fifteen minute soak. Doing such removes the starch , ensuring for a crisper chip.

Afterwards they were patted down with a paper towel.

I coated them in olive oil and also sprayed the air fryer basket with Acme's O Organic brand of olive oil spray. This gave the chips  a milk, not overpowering flavor. They were also liberally salted with sea salt.

It was then frying small batches at 370 degrees Farenheit for twelve minutes, breaking every six minutes for flipping them over,.

It was a lot of work (two hours for about seven batches!!!!!) but definitely worth it.

The fries were a combo of a chip and a fry , with crunchy edges and a meaty, creamy inside. Of course I had mine with a good dollop of ketchup but they were also yummy on their own. These are definitely make agains, maybe as a snack or a possible side to vegan chicken nuggets or Beyond Burgers.

Create these air fryer chips for a tasty treat. They are a delicious way to enjoy a classic without all the calories and grease. Make a batch or two or three today.
