Ingredients

  • 2 large russet baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp onion salt
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and thinly slice using a food processor, a mandolin, or the old fashioned way (as I do) with a sharp knife. Trying hard to get them as close as possible in size.
  • After you have them sliced, Fill a medium- large bowl with water. Add the slices and let them soak for 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 400°
  • After 20 minutes is up, drain the water. Lay out paper towels or a kitchen towel and place the slices on top. Make sure not to overlap.
  • Top with paper or kitchen towels and pat dry.
  • Lay out the slices on a baking sheet lined with foil and give it a spritz of cooking spray.
  • Brush the potatoes with the olive oil.
  • Pop em in the oven for 15 minutes. Then flip with tongs.
  • Mix up the sugar, onion salt, paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder in a small bowl.
  • After that this is the time where you really need to start watching the chips. Since they are all different sizes some with start to be ready before others. I set a bowl by the stove and keep close watch. Pull out any chips that are golden brown and put in the bowl.
  • Continue cooking and checking on them. Some chips will have brown edge and be a little soft in the center... that's fine, pull those so they don't burn.
  • Keep baking and pulling as they are ready to come out. A little tedious but worth the reward.
  • After all the chips are done, toss with the seasoning. Try not to eat them all before you serve them!
  • ENJOY!!!
