Made these for the first time. We had potatoes from our garden. Used the mandolin slicer at the thinnest setting. Then added a bit of cayenne pepper for some kick and the chips came out so yum. Thanks for the recipe.
Sir, potato chips were invented in New York, USA. Therefore, the name is in fact potato chips, not the colloquial term, crisps.

Hi Maricar, A mandoline slicer really is the only sure way to achieve this. I recommend 1/16 of an inch (or 2 mm) but you could try using a knife and do your best to make the slices similar in thickness. Hope this helps, let me know how it goes if you give it a try!
Hi Erin :) I’m an avid follower. I LOVE your recipes.
I tried this recipe in my oven which has an air fryer setting . . . Could the temps be different? I tried on the suggested temp and even at 300, but to get the chips golden . . . well, at 300 they were still too dark. Dumb question, I’m sure.
I guess I’m looking for suggestions.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Angela, I really couldn’t make suggestions on temperature only because I’ve only used an air fryer. I would think an oven air fryer would take longer due to the space being bigger, but again I really don’t have any experience so it would be hard for me to say. Another thing I was thinking was, what kind of pan are you using to cook them on? A dark or light sheet pan. That could make a difference. Hope this helps!
Air Fryer Potato Chips
recipe: TO FREEZE: Freeze chips in an airtight freezer-safe storage container or ziptop bag (remove all the air) for up to 3 months. Let thaw for a few minutes on the counter before serving.
So
thaw from freezer before serving?……..serve cold?
silly question but just want to make sure before i make them – for the flavored ones (particularly the BBQ) i would toss the flavoring BEFORE cooking in the air fryer correct?!!
thanks and they look delicious! cant wait to try :)
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the recipe. The amounts, flavorings and timing have worked well for myself (and others) so I wished it would have been a hit for you too! I know it can be so disappointing to try a new recipe and it does not turn out for you.
I know every air fryer is different, but at 325 at 20 minutes half of the each chip was burnt and the other half underdone. I’ve only had success lowering the temp to 275 and cooking for 45 min to an hour.
Thanks for the feedback, Sierra. Did you toss them after 5 minutes to make sure they cooked evenly? That’s the best method in order to prevent them from cooking unevenly. Hope this helps!
I’m sorry to hear you had trouble with the recipe, Aaron. If the oil was causing the air fryer to smoke, I’d turn it off, remove everything and give it a good washing. Typically that is the culprit to something like that. Hope this helps!
Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Either burnt or undercooked. Air fry at 375, oil salt. Using a ninja 6 in 1 air fryer combo tried the air fryer basket and sheet pan.
I’m sorry to hear you had trouble, Dustin. I’d try to cook less potatoes chips each batch, maybe keeping them more spread out. And try less time to see if that helps. Also shake them more. Let us know how it goes!
Crispy, crunchy heaven!! We inhaled the entire batch as soon as it was made.
Love that! Thank you Monica!

YUM Annie, thanks for sharing!
These aren’t chips. They’re crisps. (bleedin’ yanks). But they’re OK.
Glad you enjoyed them by any name, Woody!

Love that little history lesson, thank you Erin W!
quick and easy. healtyy.
Thank you Vanessa!
Thanks for your advices. Great chips that didn’t last long, lol.
Glad to hear you enjoyed them, Carl!
What if one does not have a mandolin? What is the alternative way to slice a potato thinly?

You can try a potato peeler as well..although the slices will not be as uniform
Great tip! Thanks Bella!

Great recipe, great taste
Thank you Liam!
20 minutes?? I went to flip them at four minutes and they were done. My air fryer is a ninja 6 in 1, maybe more powerful? Tasty regardless!
Thanks for the feedback, Natalie! Glad you were still able to enjoy them!

Hi Maria, nope you serve them at room temperature. Enjoy!
Exactly as described. Easy, crispy, and they disappear way too fast!
Thank you Susan!
This worked exactly as written, thanks!
Great to hear, thank you James!

Hi Tami, yes you are coating it with the seasoning before you cook it. Enjoy!
super disappointed and i’m not happy with this it turned out sad and it burned not happy

We absolutely loved it!
Thank you Ashley!
These came out delicious! Ate with some homemade onion dip! Another recipe to add to our list!
Thank you Ashley!
I don’t understand why you have storage instructions. I ended up eating the whole batch within minutes of them being done!
So glad you enjoyed them, Lisa!
