Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) or 180°C (350°F) for fan ovens.
Wash and peel the potatoes (leave the skin on if you prefer rustic-style chips). Slice them into thin strips, roughly 1 cm thick.
Soak the potato strips in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps achieve crispier chips.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Moisture will prevent them from crisping in the oven.
Place the dry potato strips into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the potato strips out evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
Place the tray into the preheated oven and bake the chips for 30-35 minutes. Turn the chips over halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Once the chips are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with extra salt or seasonings to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat homemade oven chips either as a snack or a side dish.
