Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave the skin on for additional nutrients and texture.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the potatoes into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Try to keep the slices as uniform as possible for even cooking.
Step 4
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for about 5 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make them crispier. After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 5
In the same dry bowl, add the potato slices, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper if using. Toss until the slices are evenly coated.
Step 6
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as the edges may brown quickly. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even baking.
Step 8
Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up slightly as they cool.
Step 9
Transfer the chips to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh rosemary if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Step 10
Enjoy your heart-healthy crispy oven-baked chips as a snack or a side dish!
