Step 1: Preheat Air Fryer to 350 Deg. ...or... Conventional Oven to 365 Deg
Air Fryer method #1 Rinse two cups of bagged chips in very hot water in sauce pan Three rinses 5 secs each draining each time thru colander.. Load chips into Air Fryer so they do not touch. Air fry at 350 deg for 6 minutes shaking and checking spacing at 3 minutes.

Look at the oil in fry basket that came off the chips....fat and calories have been reduced ...salt has been cut maybe 75%.

After chip rinses load wet chips into a plastic or paper bag with one qtr tsp of CORN STARCH and shake to coat chips. This will make chips very reluctant to stick together...much easier to load into fry basket with separation ...Air Fry for ONlY 3 Minutes ...Check for desired chrispness..You will be amazed at super CRUNCH and light taste...nearly sodium free !!!
Step 3: Conventional Oven Method...preheat to 365 Degs
Make a DYI chrisper pan for a large batch prep. Obtain a standard aluminum foil roasting pan and using a screw driver or other pointed implement puncture the bottom of the pan as many times as possible....like 50 to 100 punctures. Cut the ends of pan and fold them down under pan to create "legs". All prep is same as steps 1or2 ....bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 365. But check at 15 minutes for desired chrispness. MUST reduce cook time if using the corn starch. Check at 8 minutes
