Crispy homemade baked potato chips made with just three ingredients. No deep fryer needed and ready in 30 minutes. A healthier snack the whole family will love!
2potatoes(russet, Yukon gold, or sweet potatoes work great)
1tablespoonvegetable oil, olive oil or avocado oil (plus extra for greasing the pans)
sea salt or kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets with oil.
Using a mandolin or sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Lay the sliced potatoes on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat completely dry.
Combine the potatoes, oil and salt in a bowl or resealable bag and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap.
Bake for 15 minutes, then flip each chip and continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes until golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on them in the final minutes. Some chips may finish before others, so pull those early and let the rest continue cooking.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Notes
Every oven runs a little differently, and the thickness of your slices will affect cook time. Watch them closely toward the end.
Sweet potatoes may need a few extra minutes and won't get quite as crispy as white potatoes.
For extra flavor, try garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, or your favorite seasoning blend before baking.
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. A few minutes back in a hot oven or air fryer will help restore the crunch.
