Creating delicious, crispy potato chips without using any oil is a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. This oven-baked method will deliver satisfyingly crunchy chips with significantly lower fat content. Follow this exclusive recipe to enjoy a guilt-free snack anytime.
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes (preferably Russet for their starchy content, which helps in crisping)
- Cold water, enough to cover the potato slices
- Salt, to taste
- Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasoning of your choice
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Slice Thinly: Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly, about 1-2mm thick. Consistency is key for even cooking.
- Soak: Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or even better, for an hour. This step removes excess starch, contributing to a crispier chip.
- Rinse and Dry: Drain the potatoes and rinse them under cold water to wash off any remaining starch. Lay out the slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat them completely dry. Removing as much moisture as possible is crucial for achieving crispiness.
