Our air fryer chips are really crispy on the outside, yet deliciously light and fluffy in the middle. Rinsing your potatoes under cold water before cooking is the key to the perfect texture, so make sure you don’t skip this step – see our TIPs for why. Serve with tomato ketchup and mayonnaise for dipping.

- 400 g floury potatoes, we used Maris Piper
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- Flaked sea salt, to sprinkle
- Step 1Peel the potatoes, then cut into finger-sized strips. Put the potato strips into a colander and rinse well under cold water. Shake to drain and then tip on to kitchen towel and pat dry.
- Step 2Tip into a bowl, drizzle over the oil and sprinkle over plenty of seasoning. Toss to combine.
- Step 3Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Arrange the chips in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re in a single layer. Cook for 30min, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Tip on to a large serving plate and sprinkle over some flaked sea salt to serve.
TIPs
Rinsing off some of the excess starch helps the chips to cook more evenly in the air fryer, so they don’t brown too much before the insides are cooked.
These chips go perfectly with fish, chicken, salad and sausages. Why not try topping with our cheat’s chilli and plenty of grated cheese?
For a speedy seasoning, mix 1/2tsp sweet smoked paprika and a pinch of chilli flakes with your flaked sea salt before sprinkling over.
Floury potatoes such as Maris Piper make the best chips because they have a nice fluffy texture when cooked.
