Frying in a single layer is the essential part of making the air fryer potato chips crispier. If you overcrowd the air fryer basket the hot air inside the basket will not get to circulate properly resulting in uneven cooking. I’m sure you would not like to eat unevenly cooked food.

So, to avoid the uneven results place the potato chips in a single layer as much as possible.

Before air frying, the potato chips make sure you dry them completely. Another most important step do not to use too much oil because this will make the potatoes less crispy.
