Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Cut the potatoes into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick, leaving the skin on.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the bowl. Toss well to ensure all slices are seasoned.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skins are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Uniform Slicing: Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness to ensure all crisps cook uniformly.
- Extra Crispy: For extra crispiness, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking.
- Seasoning Variations: Experiment with different seasonings like rosemary, Parmesan cheese, or chili flakes for unique flavors.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite dip for an extra treat.
