Frequently Asked Questions

Do air fryers make good chips?

Yes, this potato chip recipe is delicious! They will be crispy on the outside and tender within and without all the unhealthy oil.

Why Do I Need To Soak My Potatoes?

Soaking potatoes is a crucial step in the cooking process and is the only way to make the best air fried potato chips!

The traditional way of preparing potatoes for air frying or deep fat cooking is by soaking them to remove excess starch. This ensures that your homemade air fryer potato chips will be crisp on the outside. 

However, don’t soak your potatoes in hot or warm water to keep them fresh. You should always use cold water when soaking your potatoes. Otherwise, the hot water will cause the starches to react, and your potato slices will turn very soggy and gummy.
