''Cheat!''

4.4/5 

A smart idea, but not really a recipe.

You need a few kitchen gadgets to make these, but it is well worth the effort. After trying many different products, I can safely say this collection of gadgets are '''the best'''!

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Wash the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] well in cold water
| Cut out any blemishes or bad marks
| Using a [[Speed peeler|speed peeler]] and peel the [[Potatoes|potatoes]]
| Using a [[Potato chipper|potato chipper]] if you have one, cut into [[Chips|chips]]
| Wash the [[Starch|starch]] off the [[Chips|chips]] by placing in a [[Colander|colander]] under cold running water.
| If you have time, they benefit from being soaked in well [[Salted|salted]] water before you cook them.
| Certainly pop them in a bowl of [[Salted|salted]] water until you are ready to [[Fry|fry]] them - just like the [[Chip|chip]]-shop does.
| Just before you r going to cook them, give the chipped [[Potatoes|potatoes]] a final rinse and [[Dry|dry]] them in a [[Tea-towel|tea-towel]].
| A [[Salad spinner|salad spinner]] is a brilliant way to dry them thoroughly, though you may have to do this in a few batches - depending how greedy you both are!
| Add no more than 2 tablespoons of [[Olive oil|olive oil]] to your [[Air Fryer|air fryer]] and tip [[Potatoes|potatoes]] in.
| Around 35 to 37 minutes seems to cook them perfectly, though check them a little before this as some [[Potatoes|potatoes]] cook faster than others.

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Malt vinegar|malt vinegar]] and [[Sea Salt|sea salt]].
===Variations===
if you are using a non-paddle air fryer such as the [[Pro Breeze Air Fryer]], add the potatoes to a Lock and Lock box with a few tables spoons of olive oil and shake them furiously to coa the chips evenly in oil.

Halfway though cooking add a [[Spray|spray]] of [[Olive oil|olive oil]] and shake them up a little. We've found this helps to really crisp them and make them evenly golden.
===Chef's notes===
We have found that the paddle-type of [[Air Fryer|air fryer]], such as the Tefal Actifry makes the best [[Chips|chips]] - superior to the non-paddle type.
