Homemade Potato Chips

I saw a post about making homemade potato chips and decided I wanted to try it too. But I didn't feel like making the mess of frying so I decided to go the baking route. I'd had some success with baking zucchini and squash slices, so I figured it would work for potatoes too.

Really I was just excited for the opportunity to use my mandoline slicer.



It has 3 sizes! So I made slices of all three sizes.

Laid mine out on a baking rack, and sprinkled them with Tony's. (too much actually)


It occurred to me after I flipped them to spray them with olive oil. I wish I had thought of that before I flipped them, because they ended up sticking to the baking rack.


I pulled them out after about 20 minutes and managed to get most of them unstuck and flipped over with very few casualties.


Put them back in for another 5 or so minutes. They crisped up REALLY well actually. Well, the thin ones did. The thicker ones probably would need to go longer. But in the future, I'll just make the thin ones.


And like I said, a bit too much Tony's. Ended up overly peppery.


But honestly pretty impressed with the end result. Going to have to do this more often.
