Homemade Potato Chips Recipe – Easy and Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 3 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for tossing)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    A hot oven helps achieve crispiness.
  2. Slice the Potatoes

    Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife.

    Aim for 1/8 inch thickness for even cooking.
  3. Toss with Oil

    In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated.

    Do not overcrowd the bowl.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between slices for better crisping.
  5. Bake the Chips

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

    Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Season

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with salt if desired.

    Serve immediately for best texture.
