👨‍🍳 How to Make It

🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

1. Peel and slice the potatoes ultra-thin using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
2. Soak slices in ice water for 10 minutes—this helps remove starch and makes them crispier.
3. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

🧂 Step 2: Season & Cook

1. Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Lightly spray both sides of the dry potato slices with oil.
3. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over all the chips.
4. Arrange in a single layer in your air fryer basket or on a baking tray (no overlapping).
5. Cook at 200°C / 400°F:
   • Air fryer: 10–15 mins
   • Oven: 15–25 mins
     Flip halfway and spray again for extra crispiness!
6. Let cool slightly for max crunch 🧡
