Ingredients

• 3 pieces large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and fiber.

Step 3

Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, uniform slices, about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 4

Place the potato slices in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which will help them crisp up.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove all moisture.

Step 6

In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.

Step 7

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on two large baking sheets. Avoid overlapping them to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper evenly over the potato slices.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, rotate the baking sheets and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 10

Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to crisp up further.

Step 11

Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
