Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice them into thin matchsticks about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Swirl the potatoes around to rinse off excess starch, which helps them crisp up while baking. Drain and rinse the potatoes under cold running water.
Step 4
Dry the potatoes thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. It's important they are completely dry to ensure they bake crisply.
Step 5
In a separate dry bowl, add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Add the dried potatoes to the oil mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Step 7
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd; use two baking sheets if necessary.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a snack, side dish, or garnish for your favorite dishes.
