AIR FRYER POTATO CHIPS
Conventional potato chips provide a salty, crisp snack but are packed with excess fat because they are fried. These chips still provide a salty crispness but are made in an air fryer. The seasoning is just what I wanted, but you can use a ranch seasoning, truffle salt, garlic salt, etc. as well.

Steps:
- To make straight, neat chips, peel the potatoes and trim away all the rounded edges so they become rectangular blocks. Cut the blocks into batons - they should be somewhere between fries and thick chips, as if they're too thin, they might break; too thick, and they won't cook through (if you like, save the offcuts to make mash or add to soups). Alternatively, cut the unpeeled potatoes into chips without trimming, if you're not bothered by neatness. Rinse the chips and pat dry with a clean tea towel.
- Tip the chips into the bottom of an air fryer (the part with the paddle), add the oil, and toss the chips in the oil so they are evenly coated. Program the fryer to cook for 30 mins using the paddle. After this time, check that the chips are tender and cooked through. If they're not, cook for a further 5 mins. Season well.

Steps:
- Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) for about 3 minutes. Line air fryer basket with foil or a parchment liner, and spray with cooking spray.
- Spread out chips in the fryer basket in a single layer, slightly overlapping chips, so the cheese doesn't melt through. Lightly dust chips with taco seasoning to get a pop of taco flavor, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Don't overcrowd the basket.
- Top cheese with olives and tomatoes and place basket in the air fryer.
- Air-fry until cheese is melted and chips are starting to slightly brown on the edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Watch closely to be sure the cheese doesn't burn. If necessary, add additional time until you reach your preferred crispness.
- Move nachos to a plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.

AIR FRYER PEPPERONI CHIPS
Great on their own as a snack or an excellent tool for your favorite dip. My favorite dip to pair these with is spinach and artichoke dip. I also like to use them as a replacement for croutons in a salad. You get that crunch and they have so much flavor you can cut back on the dressing as well.

Tips:
- Choose the right taro: Look for firm, plump taro roots with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any roots that are soft, wrinkled, or have dark spots.
- Peel and slice the taro thinly: This will help them cook evenly and crispy.
- Soak the taro slices in water: This will help remove some of the starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Season the taro slices with your favorite spices: You can use a simple salt and pepper seasoning, or get creative with other flavors like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Preheat your air fryer: This will help the taro chips cook evenly.
- Cook the taro chips in batches: Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the chips won't cook evenly. Cook them in small batches for best results.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking: This will help the chips cook evenly.
- Serve the taro chips immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer.
