Air Fryer Crinkle Cut Chips

What is it?

Deep-ridge crinkle cut chips designed specifically for air fryer cooking, with corrugated edges that catch more hot air as they crisp up. Part of the air fryer range alongside straight-cut and other shaped options, these are built for dry, fast cooking rather than traditional oven baking. Usually made from potatoes and a light coating of oil, they go from frozen straight into the basket, where the ridges help the surface brown and crisp while the centres stay soft and fluffy. The crinkle cut shape also holds condiments and sauces better than smooth-sided chips, trapping ketchup or mayo in the grooves. Expect a crunchier finish than oven-baked versions, with the air fryer producing results closer to deep-frying without the oil.
