Making these chips is easy and fun—just slice those potatoes, sprinkle on your favorite seasonings, and bake! Personally, I’m a big fan of paprika, ginger, and garlic powders. The fresh smell of dill is another favorite, and you can’t beat the timeless taste of salt and vinegar. In just 10 minutes, you can whip up a guilt-free snack, free from any artificial additives. Let’s embark on this delicious adventure together!
I’m excited to share three fantastic tips for creating the perfect homemade potato chips! First, slice your potatoes thinly—using a mandolin slicer is ideal, but a sharp knife does the job just as well. Next, preheat your oven to 350°F. Stick to this temperature to avoid burning those delicious chips. I also recommend using parchment paper for baking; it’s a lifesaver, especially if your oven has some hot spots like mine did in my old apartment. With these simple steps, you’ll be enjoying crispy, golden potato chips in no time! Happy cooking!

Ingredients for Crispy Baked Potato Chips:
- 3 medium potatoes;
- ½ tsp. paprika;
- 1½ tbsps. olive oil;
- Salt to your taste.
How to make potato chips in the oven:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF/180°C.
- Peel potatoes and thoroughly wash them under cold running water. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin thinly slice potatoes (even a peeler can be used for this purpose).
- Put potato slices into a deep bowl and cover with cold water. In such a way, we will get rid of some starch that can keep chips from getting crispy. On the other hand, you can use young potatoes for making chips at home, as their starch level is lower. Pat potatoes with paper towels or flat kitchen towels (without any pile) until slices are dry.
- Combine dried potato slice with seasoning. I have added only salt and paprika; I did not want any spicy flavor in the end. Besides, try keeping minimal with salt, as it is very easy to oversalt chips.
- Pour oil into the bowl and nicely mix it by stirring potato slices so that they will be evenly covered in seasoning and oil.
- Now line a baking tray with parchment paper and place slices so that they do not touch each other. To prevent burning chips I cover them with an additional layer of parchment paper. Put the tray into the oven and bake potato chips for 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Before serving let potato chips cool down. Bon appetite!

I often get carried away when I discover perfect options for packaged store products. When I first tried making my own potato chips, I baked them every day for an entire week, indulging in no other snacks. Thankfully, I eventually came to my senses, but that experience allowed me to determine which flavor I liked best. Without a doubt, paprika was the clear winner.
