Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients, or peel them if you prefer.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/16-inch thick. Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps prevent sticking and promotes crispiness.
Drain the potato slices and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Add salt and any optional seasonings like paprika or garlic powder, tossing again to distribute seasoning evenly.
Lay the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Avoid overlapping slices to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the final minutes to avoid burning.
Once baked, transfer the chips to a plate or cooling rack and let them cool for a few minutes to further crisp up.
Serve immediately for the best texture, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
