Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
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. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/8-inch thick).
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring crispier chips.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry completely using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure none of the slices overlap to promote even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, then flip the chips over and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Keep an eye on the chips during the final minutes of baking, as they can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
