Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave the skin on for additional nutrients and texture.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the potatoes into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Try to keep the slices as uniform as possible for even cooking.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for about 5 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make them crispier. After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel.
In the same dry bowl, add the potato slices, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper if using. Toss until the slices are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure uniform cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as the edges may brown quickly. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even baking.
Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up slightly as they cool.
Transfer the chips to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh rosemary if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Enjoy your heart-healthy crispy oven-baked chips as a snack or a side dish!
