Cooking Chips in Air Fryer
In an air fryer, cooking chips can be a quick and convenient method that produces crispy results with less oil compared to traditional frying methods. Follow these steps for perfectly cooked chips:
1. **Preparation**: Start by washing and cutting your potatoes into even-sized pieces. Soak the cut potatoes in water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2. **Seasoning**: Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the potato slices in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and your favorite seasonings like salt, pepper, paprika, or garlic powder.
3. **Preheating**: Preheat your air fryer to around 180-200°C (360-400°F) for a few minutes before adding the seasoned potato slices.
4. **Cooking Time**: Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook them for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
5. **Checking for Doneness**: Keep an eye on the chips towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning. The chips should turn golden and crispy on the outside.
6. **Serving**: Once the chips are cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove them from the air fryer and serve hot with your preferred dipping sauce or condiments.
By following these steps and adjusting the cooking time based on your air fryer model and personal preferences, you can enjoy delicious and healthier homemade chips in no time.
