Homemade Baked Potato Chips

May 2, 2013 by becky 6 Comments

 
Potato chips are seriously one of my favorite things to eat. Obviously, that isn’t a good thing which is why I never buy a bag of potato chips. But I’m human and sometimes I crave something crunchy and salty. So I came up with this recipe!  And trust me these taste so much better than store-bought baked potato chips. These are crispy, crunchy, and addicting.
 
I first posted this recipe a while back but it was in desperate need of a makeover. I took the picture with my dinky cell phone I had back then and it was bad. (Our camera was broken at the time.) I am so glad I decided to make these again because I made a couple of tweaks to the recipe and I was blown away by how much I improved the original recipe. I only made 2 changes and it made them even better! All I did differently was pat the sliced potatoes dry and instead of tossing them in olive oil, I lightly spread the oil on the baking sheet, then lined the sheet with the potato slices, and then lightly coated the tops of the chips with olive oil. They baked up so crispy and perfect it was amazing!
 
Another plus of making your own chips is that you can top it with whichever seasonings you’d like. Such as salt, salt & pepper, rosemary, other herbs, chili powder & cumin, seasoned salt, etc. The possibilities are endless!
 
Just a couple of notes about the recipe. It really doesn’t matter if you peel the potato or not. I usually don’t and either way tastes great! I also find that these turn out best when I bake them on my silicone mat because that helps them to bake evenly but foil works really well too!  Last note, be sure you use a rimmed baking sheet.

    These turned out great and were very tasty! I used kosher salt. Just make sure you bake these on a pan with sides. I didn’t and some fell and burnt on the bottom rack and caused smoke to fill my kitchen.

    MB- I am glad you liked it! I am sorry I didn’t specify using a rimmed baking sheet in my directions. I have fixed that!

    Emily- Thanks for your comment! You can line your baking sheet with foil and that works great too!
