Air Fryer Chips

Ingredients

• 800g Potatoes, peeled; floury types like Sebago or Russet work best
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp, plus extra to serve Salt

You’ll need: Air fryer

Method

1. 1

   Cut the potatoes into chips about 1cm thick. Soak in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes (this removes surface starch so they crisp), then drain and dry very well with a clean tea towel.

2. 2

   Toss the chips with the oil and salt.

3. 3

   Heat the air fryer to 200°C. Cook about half the chips at a time, in a thin layer, for 16–20 minutes, shaking the basket well every 5 minutes, until golden and crisp. Check toward the early end.

4. 4

   Season with extra salt and serve hot. Keep the first batch warm in a 100°C oven while the second cooks.
