Instructions:

  1. Slice the potatoes
    Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes paper-thin (about 1/16 inch). Uniform slices are key for even cooking.
  2. Soak & dry
    Place slices in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain well and pat completely dry with paper towels — this is essential for crispiness.
  3. Season
    Toss the dried potato slices with oil, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  4. Bake
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Watch closely toward the end — they go from golden to burnt quickly.
  5. Cool & serve
    Transfer chips to a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool. Season with extra salt if desired and serve immediately.

Storage: Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Swaps: Try sweet potatoes, beets, or zucchini for fun variations. Avocado oil works great in place of olive oil.

Tips: The thinner the slice, the crispier the chip. A mandoline is highly recommended. Make sure slices are bone-dry before baking — any moisture = soggy chips.

Common Mistakes: Overcrowding the pan causes steaming instead of crisping. Use two baking sheets and rotate them halfway through cooking.
