This easy recipe is a healthier alternative to store-bought chips and can be enjoyed as a snack or served alongside your favorite sandwiches and burgers.
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- Cooking spray
Directions
- Slice the potatoes into thin rounds using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Make sure the slices are consistently thin for even cooking.
- Place the potato slices in a large bowl and add the white vinegar. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to infuse the chips with a tangy flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Sprinkle salt over the potato slices and toss gently to coat them evenly.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place a single layer of potato slices in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap.
- Cook the potato slices in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The chips should be golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining potato slices.
- Once all the chips are cooked and cooled, serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
