Crispy Salty Treat Chips (Printable version)
Golden, crunch potato slices baked to perfection with olive oil and sea salt
# What You'll Need:
→ Potatoes
01 - 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
→ Seasoning
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly into 1/16 inch rounds.
03 - Place potato slices in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
05 - Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning.
06 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. The chips will crisp up further as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cool.
# Expert advice:
01 -
- They cost about 2 dollars to make but taste better than anything from a fancy health food store
- The satisfaction of hearing that first crunch is absolutely worth the 25 minutes
02 -
- Overlapping potatoes is the number one mistake people make and it leads to soggy spots
- Thinner slices always crisp better so take your time with the cutting step
03 -
- Pat the potato slices dry with a clean towel before tossing with oil for extra crispiness
- Set a timer for 2 minute intervals at the end of baking because they go from perfect to burned fast
