How to Make Air Fryer Potato Chips
- Soak
- Bake
After drizzling them with olive oil, you’ll cook them in your air fryer until they are golden brown.
It takes a little bit of practice to perfect making potato chips in an air fryer. Be sure to check them partway through to check for doneness.
TIP: If you notice that the chips are sticking together, you can use tongs to very carefully separate each of them. This will help them to cook properly.
Also, if there are some that are done already, remove them so that they don't burn.

- Drain
After you remove the chips from the air fryer, you will need to let them sit on a paper towel to cool.
The simplest way is to line a large cookie sheet with paper towels
Arrange one layer of chips on the paper towel. If you have more chips to cool off, then place a layer of paper towels on top of the first batch before adding another layer of chips.
How thick should the potato slices be?
To make crispy air fryer chips, you will need to cut the potatoes into thin slices. I try to make them about 1/8 inch thick, using a mandolin slicer.

Just check them a few minutes earlier, because sweet potatoes have more sugar in them and may burn otherwise.
Or, you can lower the temperature of the fryer slightly.
For extra delicious sweet potato chips, lightly sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar after removing them from the fryer.
Troubleshooting and tips for success
- Use a mandoline slicer. This will help ensure you get uniform thin slices of potato chips. This will help them cook better.
- Don't skip soaking the potatoes in cold water. This step removes the excess starch from the potato which helps prevent them from sticking together.
- Remove the potatoes from the air fryer as soon as they are golden brown. If you leave them in too long, they will burn.
Why are my airfryer chips soggy?
If your chips came out soggy, you may not have dried them well enough after soaking them.To ensure that they come out crispy, it is important that you pat them completely dry before you fry them.
