Ingredients

  • 2 medium-large potatoes
  • 1-2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • I often peel the potatoes for my crinkle cut chips because it results in a nicer looking finish. But you're more than welcome to leave the skin on - it adds great flavour and crisps up really well!
  • Chop your potatoes into 8mm strips using the crinkle cutter (linked in FAQ section and below the method).
  • Throw them into a medium-sized bowl and add your oil and seasoning. Mix well until well coated.
  • You can optionally add any additional seasoning you like here - dried mixed herbs work really well and so does dried rosemary. Simply add 1 tbsp of either.
  • Turn your air fryer on to 200c / 400F (or as high as it will go if it won't reach that temp) and set the timer to 20 minutes. I used a Ninja Foodi Max (aka Ninja Foodi XL) FYI.
  • Once your air fryer is preheated, add all your chips to the crisping basket and shut the lid/place the compartment into the machine.
  • After 10 minutes, turn them half way. A few minutes before they finish, it's always good to check on the chips to ensure they're not browning too much. Of course, if they're not particularly golden yet, you can always add an extra 3-5 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

To make these in an oven, use 4-5 tbsp of oil. Spread them onto a baking tray and bake for around 45-50 minutes turning halfway, or until golden brown.
