👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Set oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
2. Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly.
- Pat dry with a towel—dry slices crisp up better.
- Slice thinly and evenly (about ⅛ inch) using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Place slices in a large bowl.
3. Season
- Drizzle olive oil over the slices and toss to coat.
- Add garlic powder, paprika, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Toss again to evenly distribute seasoning.
4. Bake
- Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet—no overlapping.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
5. Serve
- Let cool slightly for extra crispiness.
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
- Serve warm with your favorite dip or enjoy on their own.
🌟 Tips for Success
- Even Slices = Even Crisp: A mandoline helps achieve uniform thickness.
- Boost the Flavor: Try Parmesan, chili flakes, or lemon zest for extra zing.
- Make Ahead: Prep and slice potatoes in advance—just keep them in water to prevent browning.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
