Crispy Salty Treat Chips (Print Version)
Golden-baked crunchy potato snacks with a satisfying salty kick and crispy texture.
# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
→ Seasoning
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice potatoes very thinly to about 1/16 inch thickness.
03 - Place potato slices in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring no overlap between slices.
05 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
06 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to achieve maximum crispiness. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cool.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The satisfaction of hearing that first crunch when you bite into a perfectly golden chip
- Way more affordable than store-bought and you control exactly what goes into them
02 -
- The window between perfectly golden and burned is surprisingly small, so set a timer and don't walk away
- Chips that look slightly underdone when you pull them out will crisp up as they cool, but burnt ones are gone forever
03 -
- Soaking sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch for extra crispy results
- Work in batches if your mandoline makes thicker slices, because uniformity is everything here
