Oil Free Potato Chips
When I started my oil free diet, I found I could not find any potato chips at the grocery store that were oil free. Even the baked chips had oil. I first baked potato slices in the oven but they didn’t come out very crispy. I discovered that if I soaked the sliced potatoes in water for 30 minutes, they would crisp up easier in the oven.
Gary bought me an air fryer and, I have been using it to cook my potato slices ever since. I haven’t experimented with cooking the slices in the oven since then. I was given some silicone baking mats for Christmas, which I may try to use to bake the potatoes in the oven to see if I can get a crispier result.
The potato slices crisp up nicely in the air fryer. I have a mandolin that cuts all the slices the same size, for easier cooking. In this batch, I used my trusty cutting knife so some slices were thicker than others. Hence, as you can see in the picture, some are a little crispier than others. I can still use a little salt in my diet, so I sprinkle on a little salt on the wet potatoes before I cook them. You can use other spices to suit your taste. The sky is the limit on what spice you want to put on your chips.
Prepare your Potatoes
Slice the potatoes thinly, place them in a bowl, and cover them with water. Let them rest in the water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, rinse them off and put them in the air fryer. You may season to taste. I like to put a single layer of chips in the bottom on the pan.
Crispy Vegan Oil Free Potato Chips
Cook the potatoes at 400 degrees for 10-13 minutes. Flip them or shake the basket after 5 minutes. Though today I was busy and didn’t have time to turn them and these oil free potato chips still came out crispy.
