Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes (if desired) and cut them into thick, evenly sized chips, about 1/2 inch wide.
Step 3
Place the potato chips into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato chips with the vegetable oil, ensuring each chip is well coated.
Step 6
Season the potatoes with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 7
Spread the seasoned chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the chips using a spatula to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
Step 9
Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 10
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, or as a side to any meal.
