Instructions
Prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, chili powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Add the lime juice and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Bake. Arrange the potato slices on the baking sheets. You will have to bake in batches. Bake the first batch for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes.
Continue to bake. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for 10 minutes, or until the potato chips begin to curl up on the sides.
Cool and serve. Remove the potato chips from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute. Then, transfer the chips to a wire rack and let them cool for 5 minutes. Taste for seasonings and adjust if needed. Serve.
