If you love French fries but don't love the mess (or all the oil), this recipe is about to become a favorite. These air fryer potato chips puff up into little crispy pillows while they cook, giving you the crunch of potato chips with no deep frying required. They're incredibly fun to watch, surprisingly easy to make, and always disappear within minutes at my house. Perfect for movie nights, game day snacks, burger nights, or whenever you're craving something crispy without reaching for a bag of chips. 🥔✨
💡 Russet potatoes work best because they crisp up beautifully and puff more easily than waxy potatoes.
Wash and slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch (3–4 mm) rounds.
Try to keep every slice the same thickness.
💡 A mandoline slicer makes this much easier.
