A light, delicious, easy-to-make snack, these Violet Queen variety purple potato crisps made with an air fryer are incredibly colourful and super-crunchy.

Ingredients for 4 people
Violet Queen potatoes, 5
Extra virgin olive oil, to taste 
Himalayan rock salt, to taste

Preparation
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and cut them into thin slices of about 5 mm. Soak them for an hour in a bowl of cold water to remove any excess starch. Once the time required is up, drain them and dry them using a cloth, and put them back in the bowl, seasoning them with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a few grains of pink salt. At this point, mix everything together and next put the potatoes into the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap, then set it to cook at 200°C for about twenty minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes so the potatoes do not stick to the bottom. A quick tip to get perfectly cooked crisps: cook the potatoes in two rounds so they do not stick together and run the risk of losing their crunchiness.
