Thick-cut Homemade Chips These awesome thick cut potato chips are such a crowd pleaser. Flavor them up with herbs and salt and serve a thick, creamy dip on the side! Ingredients 3 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled OR 1 sweet potato, unpeeled 1-2 Tbsp. canola oil 1 garlic clove, crushed, or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (optional) coarse sea salt Preheat oven to 450˚F.
Scrub potato and slice lengthwise or width-wise into very thin, uniform slices. A mandolin does the best job.
Brush two heavy baking sheets with about 1/2 tbsp. of oil and place in the oven to heat for about 10 minutes.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and arrange potato slices on sheets in a single layer. Bake until potatoes are golden on the bottom side, about 20 minutes. Turn them over and bake until they are golden brown all over (15-20 minutes more). Transfer to paper towels to cool. Sprinkle with coarse salt and serve.
I am a huge fan of potato chips. In fact, so much so that I don't buy them that often because if they are in the house I will eat the whole bag at once. Instead, I keep a few potatoes around so I can make a batch of my own potato chips now and then for a treat. I feel better about eating them homemade and I think it is more fun to do. Luckily, there are a lot of easy ways to make potato chips at home. You'll be surprised at how easy they are! - By Kelsey Banfield
