Homemade Potato Chips

Nutrition Notes

Ingredients

• 2 cups thinly sliced potatoes (any kind will work (about 2 medium sized potatoes))
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or other oil)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• other spices, such as black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, etc. (optional)

Preparation

1. 1

   Step 1

   Preheat your GAS oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Step 2

   In a large bowl, mix together the potato slices (2 cups) and olive oil (1 tablespoon). Mix well so every surface of every slice of potato is covered evenly- you may want to use your hands for this, since the sliced potatoes may stick together.

   Step 3

   Place the sliced potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap (but they can touch a little on the edges). Sprinkle them evenly with the kosher salt (1 teaspoon) and any other spices you want to use. Bake in the top half of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Turn OFF the oven and allow to sit in oven while it cools off 15-30 minutes (ONLY do this with a gas oven. See notes for electric. This is optional if you're in a hurry, but highly recommended, as it will make the potatoes crispier. Keep an eye on them though- the residual heat can quickly burn them if you aren't careful!).
