Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Start by washing your potatoes thoroughly. It’s essential to scrub off any dirt since you’ll be leaving the skin on. The skin adds extra texture and nutrients.
Step 2: Slice the Potatoes
- Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the potatoes. Aim for approximately 1/8 inch thickness. The thinner, the crispier!
Step 3: Season
- Place the potato slices in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss them to coat evenly. This is a critical step because the oil allows the salt and spices to adhere.
Step 4: Add the Flavor
- Sprinkle in the chopped rosemary and salt. If you're feeling adventurous, add a dash of black pepper. Mix again to ensure every slice is well-coated.
Step 5: Preheat Your Air Fryer
- Set your air fryer to around 350°F (175°C) to preheat. A properly preheated fryer helps achieve that golden, crunchy finish.
Step 6: Air Fry
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Air fry for about 15-20 minutes, shaking occasionally to promote even cooking.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Once golden brown, remove the chips and set them on a cooling rack for a minute or two. This helps maintain that delightful crunch!

Notes
Here are a few additional tips to make your chip-making experience smoother:
- Use a mandoline for even slices to ensure all chips cook uniformly.
- Don't overcrowd the basket. It’s better to cook in smaller batches.
- Experiment with spices. Consider garlic powder, paprika, or even nutritional yeast for a cheesy kick.
- Store in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
- Keep an eye on them while cooking. Air fryers can vary, and you don’t want to risk burning your chips.
