Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 350ºF (177ºC) and then let it cook for 3 minutes.
  • You can also skip preheating by adding 2-4 minutes to your cooking time. Increment gradually, to prevent burning the potato peels.
  • Using a vegetable brush is highly recommended.
  • Important: If you’re going to use store-bought seasoning, DO NOT season the potato peels with salt before air frying them. Most ready-made flavorings already contain sodium.
  • If your air fryer basket is half full, cook the potato skin chips for 20-25 minutes. The more skin chips you’re making the longer it will take to crisp up.
  • For extra crispy finish, let the potato peels dry out in a well ventilated room for an hour or two after patting them dry with a kitchen towel.
  • I used a 6-quart air fryer to test the potato skin chips. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
