Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Optionally, peel the potatoes if you prefer skinless chips.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds approximately 1/8-inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispier chips.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure they do not overlap to allow even cooking.
Sprinkle the potato slices with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) for extra flavor.
Bake the chips in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully flip them over using tongs or a spatula.
Continue baking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
Remove the baked potato chips from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes to crisp up fully.
Serve immediately as a snack or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
