  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning
  • water
  • 1 spritz oil

Instructions

  • Wash potatoes and slice into thin, even slices using a mandolin.
  • Place potatoes in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Fill with water to cover and let sit for 20 minutes.
  • Rinse potatoes and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Place potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray with a bit of oil.
  • Air fry in batches at 350F / 180C for 8-13 minutes. Turn the potatoes a couple of times during cooking so they don't burn. Watch closely as they can cook faster than expected.
  • Sprinkle with salt and allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  • Slice the potatoes as evenly as possible for even cooking.
  • The thinner the slices, the faster they will cook.
  • Be sure to wear a safety glove or use the guard when slicing potatoes on a mandolin.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • Dry potatoes well before adding to the air fryer basket or they will steam rather than fry.
  • Do not crowd or overlap the potatoes.
  • Spray with oil before cooking. If needed spray with a bit more oil when you flip the chips.
  • Watch closely as the cooking time may vary based on your air fryer or how thin you sliced the potatoes.
  • Storage - keep in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 10 days.
  • There are 7 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
