Chips Recipe

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler if you prefer skinless chips, or leave the skin on for a rustic feel.

Slice the Potatoes

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly.

Soak the Potato Slices

Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier chips.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Dry the Potato Slices

After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Season the Potato Slices

In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.

Bake the Chips

Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.

Cool and Serve

Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
