How to Make Air Fryer Honey Butter Chips – Step-by-Step
Ingredients:
- 2 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 1 ½ tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 ½ tbsp honey
- ½ tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
Tip: You can add a dash of cinnamon or chili powder for extra flavor depth!
Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Honey Butter Chips
1️⃣ Slice the Potatoes Thinly
Using a mandoline slicer, carefully slice 2 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes into thin rounds — about 1.5 mm thick for perfect crispness.
2️⃣ Soak to Remove Starch
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve ultra-crispy chips! Drain well and pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
3️⃣ Preheat Your Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the next steps.
4️⃣ Prepare the Air Fryer Basket
Lightly oil the air fryer basket or line it with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking.
5️⃣ Air Fry the Potato Slices
Arrange the potato slices in a single, even layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even golden crunch.
6️⃣ Make the Honey Butter Glaze
While the chips are cooking, melt 1½ tbsp unsalted butter and 1½ tbsp honey together in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until smooth and blended.
7️⃣ Glaze the Chips
Immediately after air frying, transfer the hot chips to a mixing bowl. Toss them with the warm honey butter glaze until evenly coated, then sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
8️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
Serve your air fryer honey butter chips warm and crispy, perfect for snacking, sharing, or indulging solo!
These chips pair perfectly with a hot drink or a scoop of ice cream – sweet meets salty magic!
