Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 medium-sized Fresh tomatoes
• 0.5 medium-sized Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 small Jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for salsa)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandolin, slice them into thin rounds about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss the sliced potatoes in the mixture until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure not to overlap the slices to ensure even crisping.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. The potatoes should turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Step 6

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the lime salsa. Finely dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat). Mince the fresh cilantro.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper, then stir well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Remove the baked potato crisps from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes to crisp up further.

Step 9

Serve the potato crisps on a large platter with the lime salsa on the side, or spoon the salsa over the crisps for a burst of flavor in every bite.
