Enjoy the perfect combination of crispy and tangy with these homemade salt and vinegar potato chips made in an air fryer. The chips are thinly sliced, seasoned with salt and vinegar, and air fried until golden and crunchy. 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.
