Why Canned Potato Chips recipe is a Winner
- Canned sliced potatoes are a great mealtime staple that can be used in a variety of recipes.
- Air-frying sliced potatoes is a healthier alternative to deep-frying as it requires less oil.
- Air-fried canned potato chips are much lower in fat and calories than their deep-fried counterparts.
- Potato slices are cooked much faster in the air fryer than potatoes that are oven baked or boiled!
- Simply place your canned sliced potatoes in the basket of your air fryer and set the temperature to 390°F (198°C). Cook for 15 minutes and voila – you have perfectly crisp and flavorful air-fried canned potato chips.
- Sprinkle with your favorite seasonings, add a dollop of sour cream, or top with some grated cheese for an even more delicious meal. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 can sliced potatoes
- 1 Tablespoon Avocado oil or Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon seasoning of choice. I used Costco veggie blend
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
Directions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (195°C) on airfry setting.
- Empty the canned potatoes into a strainer, and run them under cold water for a minute.
- Lay the potato slices on a kitchen towel and pat them dry.
- Add the potato slices into a large mixing bowl along with oil and seasonings. Be gentle when tossing them to ensure the potato slices are not breaking.
- Put your seasoned potato slices in your air fryer basket (or tray) in a single layer. My Ninja Air fryer 6-in-1 comfortably fits all the slices from one can of potatoes.
- Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway.
Beginner tip - check up on your potatoes every 5 minutes to ensure they do not get burned.
What are Canned Potatoes and where can I find them?
Canned potatoes have become a useful pantry staple in our household. I love that potatoes have already been peeled, cooked, and canned in a liquid such as broth or water.
You can find them in the canned goods aisle of most grocery stores. I love how they require minimal preparation and can help reduce mealtime prep time while keeping your kitchen work to a minimum.
Air-frying tip: What Oils are best to use in the air fryer?
When using an air fryer for your cooking, the best oils to use are ones with a high smoke point. Examples of these include avocado oil and extra virgin olive oil. Avocado oil has a high smoke point (450°F to 520°F / 230°C to 270°C) which means that it can withstand high temperatures in the fryer without burning or smoking. Extra Virgin Olive Oil also has a high smoke point (350F-410F / 177C-210C), although it may have a stronger flavor than some of the lighter oils that would work well in an air fryer. It is important to use oils with a high smoke point so as to not cause excessive smoking or burning while cooking - this could potentially damage the air fryer.
