Ingredients
- 2-3 medium potatoes or sweet potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russets work great)
- Salt, to taste
- Optional seasonings: smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried rosemary, or any herbs you enjoy
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the Potatoes: Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible (about 1-2 mm thick) for maximum crispiness.
- Soak the Slices: Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 20-30 minutes. This step removes excess starch, helping them get crispy.
- Rinse and Dry: Drain the slices and rinse them thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This is key for crispiness!
- Season: Lay the potato slices on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and any seasonings you love.
- Bake: Bake for 10 minutes, then flip each slice and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes – this helps them crisp up even more. Serve fresh!
Tip: Keep a close eye on the chips in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
