Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cups Water
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Peel if desired, but leaving the skin on can add extra texture and flavor.
Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/8-inch thick).
Fill a large bowl with cold water and place the potato slices in it to remove excess starch. Soak for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine fennel seeds, paprika, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again to ensure each slice is well seasoned.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly—they will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
