Homemade Oven-Baked Potato Chips

Preheat the oven Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Prepare the potatoes Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Peel the potatoes if desired.

Slice the potatoes Slice the potatoes into thin, even slices using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).

Rinse the potato slices Place the potato slices in a large bowl and rinse them with cold water to remove excess starch.

Dry the potato slices Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Coat the potato slices Transfer the dried potato slices to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil and toss well to coat all the slices evenly.

Arrange the potato slices on a baking sheet Arrange the coated potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Make sure the slices are not overlapping.

Season the potato slices Sprinkle the potato slices with salt to taste.

Bake the potato slices Bake the potato slices in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the slices halfway through baking for even cooking.

Cool the potato chips Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potato chips cool completely before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Serve and enjoy Serve the homemade oven-baked potato chips as a snack or as a side dish with your favorite dip.
