Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices, then sprinkle with salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss well to ensure even coating.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each slice and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the chips from the oven and immediately sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Let the residual heat melt the cheese slightly.
Transfer the chips to a serving platter and garnish with chopped chives for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Serve warm and enjoy your 'Chips My Eye Variation' with your favorite dipping sauce or as-is!
