🔪 Step-by-Step Process

🥶 1. Prepare the Potatoes

Soak your thinly sliced potatoes in an ice bath for 10–15 minutes to remove starch — this is the secret to ultra-crispy chips. Rinse, drain, and pat completely dry before cooking.

🌬️ 2. Air Fry or Bake

Lightly spray with cooking oil and air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway. If baking, give them 15–25 minutes in a hot oven until perfectly golden and crisp.

🧂 3. Season & Serve

Blend all your sour cream & onion seasoning — salt, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, dill, sweetener, and buttermilk powder — into a fine mix. Toss your hot chips while still warm to coat evenly.

Serve immediately and enjoy that crunchy, tangy perfection! 😋

🧠 Smart Tips for Perfect Chips

💡 Soak in Ice Water: Removes excess starch and boosts crispiness.
💡 Use Low-Carb Potatoes: Try Carisma or SpudLite varieties.
💡 Flip Midway: For evenly cooked, crunchy edges.
