Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes (or leave the skin on if preferred for extra texture). Slice them into 1/4-inch thick chip-like pieces, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps make the chips crispier.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using). Add the dried potato slices and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping, as this could cause them to steam instead of getting crispy.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the potato slices over, and return them to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 8
Once baked to your desired crispiness, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Sprinkle with additional salt or your favorite herbs, if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish or snack and enjoy!
