Ingredients

2 large russet potatoes

or Yukon Gold for a slightly sweeter flavor

2 tablespoons olive oil

or avocado oil for a lighter option

1 teaspoon salt

adjust to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

for a smoky kick

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

because everything’s better with garlic!

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

for a hint of savory depth

Optional: A pinch of cayenne pepper for heat, or nutritional yeast for a cheesy twist

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature ensures your chips crisp up perfectly without becoming soggy.

Step 2: Slice the Potatoes

Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/8-inch thick). Pro tip: If you’re using a knife, take your time to ensure uniformity—this helps them bake evenly.

Step 3: Dry the Slices

Pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving that signature crunch.

Step 4: Season the Chips

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and any optional seasonings (like cayenne or nutritional yeast) over the slices. Toss again to ensure every piece is well-seasoned.

Step 5: Arrange on Baking Sheets

Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Make sure they aren’t overlapping—this allows them to crisp up evenly.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.

Step 7: Cool and Crisp

Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. As they cool, they’ll become even crispier.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer your homemade kettle chips to a bowl and dig in! They’re perfect as-is or paired with your favorite dip.
