Packaged snack chips Recipe

American · Snack · 25 min total

A simple recipe for making your own packaged-style snack chips at home, perfect for parties or snacking. These crispy, seasoned chips are baked rather than fried for a healthier twist.

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Scrub potatoes and slice very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife. Pat dry with paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Arrange slices in a single layer on prepared baking sheets, not overlapping.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until chips are golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
6. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; chips will crisp further as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Tips

• For extra crunch, soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Experiment with different seasonings like chili powder, ranch seasoning, or vinegar powder.
