Description
A recipe for making very crispy, thin potato chips baked in the oven with Parmesan cheese seasoning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Do not peel them if you prefer skin-on chips.
- Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible, ideally using a mandoline slicer to achieve uniform thickness (about 1/16 inch).
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them completely with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes completely and rinse them under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Spread the potato slices out on clean kitchen towels or paper towels and pat them completely dry. This step is crucial for crispiness.
- In a bowl, toss the dried potato slices with the olive oil until lightly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the oiled potato slices in a large bowl. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan mixture over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not let them overlap.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Carefully flip each chip. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan mixture over the chips.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. The chips are done when they are golden brown and firm.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets; they will crisp up further as they cool.
Notes
- Using a mandoline ensures uniform thickness, which helps all chips cook evenly and become crispy.
- Drying the potatoes completely after soaking is the most important step for achieving a crunchy texture.
- If your chips are not crisp after cooling, return them to a 300°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
