Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes (e.g., Russet or Maris Piper)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes clean under running water. Peel them if desired, though the skin adds extra texture and flavor.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chips or wedges, about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick, for even cooking.
Step 4
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps achieve crispier chips.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings like paprika or garlic powder. Toss until all the chips are evenly coated.
Step 7
Spread the seasoned chips out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none are overlapping for even roasting.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then carefully flip the chips using a spatula. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the tray from the oven and let the chips cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, paired with ketchup, mayonnaise, or your favorite dipping sauce.
