I brought home three potatoes that we had left from our pantry, and my parents already have pounds and pounds of potatoes. To use them up, I decided to make some potato chips..baked. I try not to have anything fried if I can manage it, so there’s nooo way I’d fry up potato chips! With the seasonings I used, it ended up tasting very similar to BBQ chips. Fantastic. Now I just have to keep myself from eating all of them..
Some of the potatoes weren’t sliced as thin as I would like, so they didn’t get as much of a crisp, but the flavor was still excellent, so it hardly matters. A mandolin would probably be best to use to slice the potatoes.
Baked BBQ Potato Chips
3 small potatoes, sliced very thinly
Olive oil spray
a pinch each of:
onion powder
garlic powder
chili powder
paprika
black pepper
salt
Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Once your potatoes are sliced thin, pat them dry with a paper towel. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with olive oil. Lay the potatoes down in a single layer (touching is fine). Spray the tops of the potatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle your seasonings over the potatoes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are browned and the potatoes are crispy. Store in an airtight container.
