Prepare the potatoes
After purchasing the potatoes, peel them, cut them into thin slices, and then soak them in a bowl of water mixed with about 2 teaspoons of salt to clean the starch and prevent them from turning black.
Fifteen minutes before frying, you can spread the potatoes on a drying rack in a dry place or turn on a fan to dry them, or you can put them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before frying to help make them crispier.
Mix the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, so when frying, they won’t be dry and will taste better.
How to peel potatoes without itching:
- The first and most effective way is to use gloves when peeling the potatoes; this will limit the contact of potato starch with your hands.
- You can also lightly roast the potatoes on the stove to slightly dry the skin, which will also limit the starch from leaking out.
- Additionally, keeping the potatoes dry will also help reduce the leakage of potato starch and minimize itching.
How to peel potatoes without turning black:
- You can soak the peeled potatoes in cold water mixed with a little vinegar. This method significantly reduces the formation of dark spots.
- For potatoes that have already turned black, you can briefly boil them with a little fresh milk. This method can remove the already formed dark spots and gives the potatoes a nice milk aroma.

How to store potato chips
- To help potato chips last longer, wait for them to cool completely before placing them in a bag or airtight container. With this storage method, the chips can be used for about 1 – 2 weeks.
- Additionally, storing them in vacuum-sealed bags will keep the chips crispy and tasty for up to 1 month.
Notes when using an air fryer to make potato chips
- Before cooking, preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at a temperature of 100 – 150 degrees Celsius to help the food cook evenly and faster.
- You should place a layer of paper under the plate and then arrange the potatoes on top, spacing them out to ensure the chips are fluffy and do not stick together.
- Depending on the power of the air fryer and the amount of potatoes you are using, the temperature and time may cause the potatoes to cook faster or slower. Each air fryer has different power levels. To ensure your dish is cooked properly, you should observe the cooking process.
- Depending on the amount of food, whether it is thick or thin, you should adjust the temperature and cooking time accordingly for the air fryer. You can refer to the suggested time and temperature available on the air fryer, or the instruction manual that comes with it during the first use.
- For some models of air fryers that have a transparent view, checking will be easier than those that do not. For models without a view, you will need to pause the cooking process and open it to check.
- If you find that the color and crispiness of the food are not as desired, you can adjust the temperature and time to continue frying.
