Crispy Salty Treat Chips (Printable)
Golden-baked chips with a crunchy texture and a savory salty burst, ideal for snacking or dips.
# Ingredient List:
→ Potatoes
01 - 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
→ Seasoning
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
# How to Make:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly to approximately 1/16 inch thickness for uniform cooking.
03 - Place potato slices in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until all slices are evenly coated.
04 - Arrange seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring slices do not overlap for proper crisping.
05 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping slices halfway through cooking. Monitor closely during the final minutes to achieve golden brown color without burning.
06 - Remove from oven and allow chips to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- Way cheaper than store-bought chips and you control exactly what goes into them
- The satisfaction of pulling perfectly crisp chips from your own oven is genuinely unmatched
02 -
- The thinner your slices, the crispier your chips will be, so take your time with this step
- Overlapping slices creates soggy spots that will ruin your perfect batch
03 -
- Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch for extra crispy results
- Season immediately after baking while the chips are still hot so the salt sticks better
