Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium potatoes. I use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Thinly sliced. About 1/8 of an inch (2-3 mm) in thickness.
  • 2 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Scrub and rinse potatoes. Leave the skins on (Optional).
  • Using a sharp knife, thinly slice potatoes. About 1/8 inch thick (2-3 mm). Alternatively, you can use the potato mandoline slicer.
  • Rinse the potato slices under running water. This helps to rid of the starch.
  • In a small pot, combine the potato slices, vinegar, and one tablespoon of salt. If vinegar does not cover potatoes by at least ¼ inch, top it up with cold water until it does.
  • Bring to boil, lower the heat, and simmer until fork-tender. About 5 minutes.
  • Let cool in the vinegar liquid for 15 minutes.
  • Drain well and pat the potatoes dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380F/190C.
    Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil. Alternatively, you can spritz them with oil spray. I use the Ghee spray oil.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
  • Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry mode until lightly browned on top, about 5 minutes. Then flip each slice and air fry until golden brown, with crispy edges and caramelized spots. About 4-5 minutes more.

Notes

Tips

  • Use starchy potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These varieties will produce chips that are nice and crispy.
  • Cut the potatoes thinly, using a mandoline if possible. If the potatoes are too thick, they won't get crispy enough when cooked.
  • Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 15 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove some of the starch, which will make for crispier chips.
  • Fry the potato slices in the air fryer until golden brown. Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the chips will stick together and won't get crispy.
  • Sprinkle potato chips with more salt, if desired. While they're still hot.
