Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The most crucial step is slicing the potato! It’s best to use a mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife to cut the potato as thinly as possible. Uniform thinness ensures maximum crispiness and the best flavor. If you try to cut them too thick by hand, they won’t achieve that satisfying crunch. Also, choose a potato that’s large enough to wrap around a sausage.
Step 2
Once sliced, soak the potato pieces in cold water for about 5 minutes. This process removes excess starch, preventing the slices from sticking together and contributing to a crispier texture.
Step 3
After draining the starch, add 1 tablespoon of coarse salt to the potato slices and let them cure. They should be flexible enough to bend without breaking. Curing softens the potatoes and enhances their chewy texture when cooked. Gently rinse the cured potatoes under water once.
Step 4
Pat the rinsed potato slices completely dry with paper towels. Any remaining moisture can cause splattering during cooking or lead to sogginess, so thorough drying is essential.
Step 5
It’s recommended to soak toothpicks in water for at least 10 minutes beforehand. Soaking prevents them from burning when cooked in the air fryer, ensuring safety.
Step 6
Wrap each Vienna sausage with the thinly sliced potato. Try to wrap them snugly so they hold their shape. Secure the sausage and potato together with a pre-soaked toothpick.
Step 7
Arrange the sausage-potato rolls in the air fryer basket or tray. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 8
Brush the outside of the potato-wrapped sausages evenly with cooking oil. This step helps achieve a golden-brown and crispy finish in the air fryer.
Step 9
Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of the potatoes, so check them periodically. You’ll end up with incredibly crispy sausage potato chips!
Step 10
These freshly cooked sausage potato chips are delicious on their own, with the potatoes offering a lovely crunch and the sausages bursting with savory juice. They are incredibly addictive and make for a fantastic snack or appetizer. Kids absolutely love them too! This is a potato recipe you’ll definitely want to make again.
