For extra crispy chips, ensure the potato slices are as thin and dry as possible before air frying. Use a mandoline for consistent slicing. Don't overcrowd the air fryer racks; work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and maximum crispness. Adjust cooking times based on your air fryer model, checking frequently to prevent burning. Some air fryers may require slightly less or more cooking time. Feel free to experiment with other types of vinegar, such as white vinegar or malt vinegar, for a different flavor profile. Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispness, although they are best enjoyed fresh.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
35 mins
Infuse the Potatoes: In a large soup pot, bring the apple cider vinegar to a rolling boil. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover the pot, and let the potatoes steep in the vinegar for 30 minutes. (Total time: 35 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Dehydrate the Potato Slices: Line a baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Drain the vinegar-soaked potatoes thoroughly, being careful not to rinse them. Arrange the potato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring none are overlapping. Cover the potato slices with another layer of paper towels. Repeat this layering process until all the potatoes have been patted dry. (Total time: 15 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
Air Fry Setup: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Position the basket rack in the top slot of the air fryer. This rack will act as a shield to prevent the chips from being blown around by the fan during the frying process. (Total time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
13 mins
Air Fry to Crispy Perfection: Arrange the dried potato slices on the remaining air fryer racks in a single layer. Lightly sprinkle the potato slices with sea salt. Carefully place the racks in the preheated air fryer oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the top rack of chips and transfer them to a plate. Set the timer for 2 more minutes, then remove the next highest rack of chips. Finally, set the timer for 1 more minute to crisp the final rack of chips. (Total time: 13 minutes)
