HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS RECIPE

Hello Monday! Hi there, internet buddies! Welcome to another installment of food you can get at the grocery store, but why do that when you can also make it at home! Because I obviously have an obsession with doing just that. Hamburger Helper yesterday, Potato Chips today. Holla!

Who out there follows a Meatless Monday routine? Anyone? I try, but often forget. However, in trying to meet those Meatless Monday standards, last week I arrived at these potato chips and I couldn’t be any more satisfied.

I know. I know that Meatless Mondays are about the main meal, but work with me, here. (I had a salmon burger on the side. shhhhh! It was SO GOOD! )

The thing about baked potato chips is that they are a) adorable, b) delicious, and c) healthier, because they’re like chips, but aren’t fried.

I made these three different times because I’m pretty sure we all want the same thing; a perfect crunchy texture.

The first time, they were crispy. Like, CRISSSSSSPY. Could’ve been just my oven, but it could also have been me, the one that left them in there for 40 minutes… The second time, they were too soft, but the third time, they were looking crunchy and crispy and just about right.

That’s them, right there. Thin + Crunchy. 

Here’s the dealio, though. To get potato chips as perfectly as you want them, you MIGHT have to get to know your oven a bit better. I mean, if these chips aren’t crunchy enough by the 25th minute, leave them in there… they will get to their destination. Just keep on checking every, like, 15 seconds.

Also? IF you like a bit more heat, add more pepper. If you like a bit more cumin, add more cumin. If you want less, add less. Get my drift? Good.
Thank you.
I ♥ You!

ENJOY!

    Can these be made in an air fryer too?

    1. Katerina Petrovska says:

      Sure! Preheat air fryer to 375หšF; spray the air fryer with cooking spray, cook potato slices for about 7 minutes, then flip them over, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes longer. Word of advice, don’t crowd the basket – arrange the potato slices in one single layer and cook them in batches. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Those are the most perfect homemade potato chips

  3. David says:

    So glad I found this recipe when I was searching for potato chips recipes. I love how unique it is with the addition of the chili and lime, and your pictures look absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing this.

  4. Helen says:

    What would you expect to happen if I left out the corn starch?

    1. Katerina Petrovska says:

      Hi! The chips won’t be very crispy without it. ๐Ÿ™‚ For crispy oven-baked chips, you need corn starch.

  5. Mary C says:

    So I want to make these for my dad for part of his Christmas gift (we’re doing strictly homemade gifts this year) so wondering how long these would keep for? Can I make them a day or two ahead if I seal them in a Ziploc?

    1. Katerina Petrovska says:

      Hi Mary!! If you have to make them a day ahead, I would suggest just 1 day. They aren’t as crispy as store-bought chips (you would need a dehydrator for something crispier), but these will hold up for at least a couple of days if stored in ziploc bags. I hope that helps. Have a great Christmas!!!

  6. Karly Campbell says:

    Something about homemade chips just get me. Not sure if it’s the freshness or if I just feel less guilty because I’m not eating them out of a plastic bag, but I can never get enough! These look amazing!

    What a creative idea for a fun family snack! My family will love these.
