Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
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, leaving the skin on for extra texture. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Soak the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the chips crunchier.
Drain the potatoes 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 until evenly coated.
Add the lemon zest, lime zest, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix well to ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed on the potato slices.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the chips over and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your Zester Chips as a bright and tangy snack!
