Homemade Potato Chips

  • Easy
  • Average budget

Ingredients

  • 2 russet potatoes (about 1 1/4 lb total), unpeeled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray two rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Slice the potatoes into very thin rounds (about 1/16-inch). Place them in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Dry completely.

Step 3

Whisk the oil, salt (and whatever spices you want) together in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and toss to coat.

Step 4

Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheets. Spread in a single layer – it’s important they all have their own space in order to crisp up. Bake for 12-20 minutes, or until the chips are browned and crispy.
