Homemade Baked Potato Chips
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika optional, for a smoky flavor
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
-
Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired). Slice potatoes thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
-
Place potato slices in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
-
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean towel.
-
Toss the potato slices in a large bowl with olive oil until evenly coated.
-
Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and paprika, if using.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until golden and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
-
Remove from the oven and let chips cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Experiment with different types of potatoes, seasonings, or dips for variety. For extra crispiness, bake chips on a cooling rack placed over the baking sheet.
