These crispy air-fried chips are fun to make - especially when you cut out some bat and cat shapes and toss them in my black seasoning mix.

Don’t worry - you don’t need to do that for all your batches, but your kids will love making the decorations for your freshly air-fried potato chips!

Just make sure the adult is using the mandoline with a special glove for safety - then the kids can cut out shapes from there.

Equipment

Air Fryer
Handheld mandoline

Ingredients

8 cups thinly sliced Idaho® potatoes (about ¼ inch), can use Russets, or colored fingerlings lke I
1 tablespoon aquafaba optional use if chips are too dry to hopld seasoning
1 teaspoon Salt or salt substitute , or to taste

Instructions

Place the potato slices in a large mixing bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 15 minutes.
Drain in a colander for another 20 - 30 minutes. Or you can place on a single layer on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
Put in a clean mixing bowl and then salt to taste and mix again. Or toss in the Cat and Bat Black Seasoning Blend. You can spray on some aquafaba if the spice mix doesn't stick - or just toss in a tablespoon of aquafaba.
Add a single layer to your air fryer and cook on 330°F for 5 minutes, shake the basket, and use tongs to separate any chips that are stuck on top of each other.
Cook for another 5 minutes, shake and separate again. If the chips still aren’t cooked enough, cook 3 to 5 minutes more or until the chips are 80 - 90 percent brown and not burned.
At any stage, you can remove chips that are done with tongs and keep cooking the rest.
There will still be a few places that look undercooked, but they will crisp up as they cool.
Repeat with each batch of the prepared potatoes, until you are done.

Notes

Note: If you are making a lot of chips I suggest that you cover some sheet pans with parchment paper and put a single layer of chips in the oven to bake at 325 for 10 minutes. This saves you from having to dry the slices and keeps them from sticking together as much!
