Crispy and flavorful oven-baked potato chips made with simple ingredients. These homemade chips are thinly sliced russet potatoes seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then baked to golden perfection using olive oil for a healthier alternative to fried chips.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 russet potatoes

Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Use light-colored pans for the best results to ensure even baking.
  2. Slice Potatoes: Using a mandolin, slice the russet potatoes into thin rounds, slightly thinner than ⅛-inch thick. If you don’t have a mandolin, carefully slice with a sharp knife, though this will take more time and effort.
  3. Rinse and Soak Potatoes: Rinse the potato slices under cold water, separating them with your hands to remove excess surface starch until the water runs clear. Soak the slices in cold water for 15-30 minutes to help with crispiness.
  4. Dry Potatoes: Drain the soaked potatoes and thoroughly dry them using a clean kitchen towel. Also dry the bowl used for soaking to ensure no residual moisture remains. Removing all moisture is crucial for crisp chips.
  5. Season Potatoes: Place the dried potato slices back into the dry bowl. Add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss and mix well using your hands to evenly coat all slices with seasoning.
  6. Arrange and Bake: Transfer the seasoned potato slices to the prepared baking sheets, laying them out in a single layer without overlapping or touching to allow maximum crispness.
  7. Bake and Flip: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the baking time to ensure even crisping. Bake until the chips are golden and crispy.

Notes

  • Using light-colored baking sheets prevents the chips from burning and promotes even cooking.
  • Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch, which is essential for achieving crispiness.
  • Drying the potatoes thoroughly after soaking is key to avoid soggy chips.
  • Flip the chips halfway through baking for even browning on both sides.
  • Thickness of the slices affects cooking time—very thin slices may crisp faster and may need less time.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
