Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into chunky chips, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 5 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them to be crispier.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Return the dried potato slices to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Toss the chips well to ensure each piece is coated with the seasoning and oil.
Spread the seasoned chips on the prepared baking tray in a single layer. Make sure there is enough space between the pieces to ensure even baking.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, take the tray out and flip the chips over using a spatula to ensure they brown evenly.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the chips cool for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the chips with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
