Oven-Baked Potato Chips


Oh baby, I've found my new favorite snack! I had tried making these once before, to eat with our tilapia sandwiches, but they turned out a little soggy. A reader suggested broiling them before removing from the oven and I had every intention of trying that this time...but ended up not needing to. This isn't so much a recipe as a method, but it's one that I'll be using again and again. These were reminiscent of the chips you'll find in many pubs around here, except significantly healthier. They were crunchy and tasty, thanks to the seasoned salt. I didn't even eat them with ketchup which is highly unusual for me (usually I'm using crispy potatoes as a means to get to ketchup ;))

Oven-Baked Potato Chips

Ingredients:
-baking potatoes, peeled
-cooking spray
-seasoned salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Using a sharp knife or a food processor, thinly slice potatoes.
2. Cover baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
3. Dry sliced potatoes in sheets of paper towels to remove excessive moisture.
4. Place potatoes on greased sheets and spray with more cooking spray (or olive oil). Sprinkle with seasoned salt or desired seasonings.
5. Bake until crisped and browned, about 20 minutes.

I've never tried making homemade chips before--oh there is still so many things I want to try in the foodie world!
You could go either sweet (cinn/sugar) or savory with these--yum!

I love this! My hubby loves potato chips, but I know that they are not the best for him. I've never tried making homemade ones before.

Yum! What a healthy alternative to fried chips! I wonder if these would be good made with sweet potatoes...

These look tasty! What, might I ask did you do differently this time? My kids love it when I cook our own chips, but they do tend to turn out soggy sometimes. I will try this exactly as you did. Thanks!
