Tips for Making the Best Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips

Who doesn’t love potato chips? They’re salty, crunchy, and addictive. But store-bought chips can be greasy and unhealthy. So what’s a chip lover to do? Enter the air fryer.

Air fryers are excellent devices that can make delicious foods – including potato chips! These tips will help you make the best air fryer potato chips ever. So grab a bag of potatoes and get frying!

Potatoes: For best results, use Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes. Both have great skin that will hold your potatoes while they air fry up!

Mandoline: Although you can use a sharp knife to make Homemade Air Fryer Potato Chips, use a mandoline slicer to ensure that they are uniform and thin enough.

Cooking Time: The thickness of your chips will determine how long they need to air fry. Remember to watch the potatoes as they cook up. This way, they do not get overcooked.

Soaking Your Potatoes: The key to a crispy exterior is soaking your chips in cold water before air frying. Removing excess starch from the potatoes will help them crisp up nicely and enjoyably!

When Are The Chips Done: Carefully remove the chips once they turn slightly brown.

What Is Buttermilk Powder?

Buttermilk powder has become a popular ingredient in recent years. It is used to thicken sauces, add flavor, and as a leavening agent.

Buttermilk powder is a type of dehydrated buttermilk that you can store in your fridge for quite some time. It has the same texture and flavor as regular milk, so you’ll never notice it’s not fresh-cooked!

Where Can You Purchase Buttermilk Powder?

Cooks looking for buttermilk powder will be happy to know that it is available at most major grocery stores. You can also purchase buttermilk powder online from several retailers. When purchasing buttermilk powder, check the expiration date and storage instructions to ensure the product is fresh.

How To Store

Store your leftover potato chips in an airtight container or plastic storage bag. You can pop them in the pantry to keep for up two weeks.

How To Freeze

Everyone is always shocked when I suggest freezing potato chips, but it’s a great way to make a double or even triple batch and then take them out of the freezer for a quick summer snack!

You can freeze homemade air fryer potato chips to enjoy them later. Let the potato chips cool to room temperature, and then place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freezer, and free until frozen solid.

Remove the frozen chips, and place them into a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container. Let them thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight.

FAQ’s:

Why do you soak potato chips in cold water before air frying?

You may have noticed that they become much crispier when you soak your potato chips in cold water. This is because of a natural process where excess starch from the potatoes is removed and replaced with an improved texture making them more delicious for eaters!

Why are my air fryer chips soggy?

The cooking process for your air fryer is a bit different than using an oven. You want to make sure that you blot and drain the potatoes after they have been soaked to avoid soggy chips or crispier layers!

Do I Need To Preheat My Air Fryer?

No, there is no reason to preheat your air fryer. First, the cooking time will not end up much different.
