Why won’t my air fryer potato chips get crispy?
I’ve tried making homemade potato chips a couple of times now, and they keep coming out somewhere between chewy and slightly burnt rather than properly crunchy. The thinner slices brown really quickly, but the thicker ones stay soft even when I leave them in longer. I’ve been slicing them with a knife, rinsing them, and drying them before adding a little oil. Maybe my slices just aren’t consistent enough, but I’m not sure what else I’m doing wrong. Do you soak yours for a specific amount of time, and what temperature works best? Also, do you cook them in small batches or is there a way to get decent results with a fuller basket?
