Baked Potato Chips

Sharing is caring!

Are you one of those that love potato chips? You open the bag and the next thing you realize the bag is empty!! Well, I love potato chips. Who doesn’t? Right?

Honestly, as much as I love it? my waist hates it. So though I don’t live my life counting calories I know that stuff ain’t good for me. Deep-fried food with too much oil is not heart-healthy either.

In our home, we eat potato chips and oven-baked potato wedges all the time, but they are not deep-fried!! These are my oven-baked potato chips or like my kids say oven-fried potato chips. And these have a fraction of the oil just for the purpose of color.

Like I said I don’t live my life counting calories and if you have been on this blog then you know desserts are my thing. I do believe in eating a more balanced diet so I save where I have to and splurge when I need to. Just to give you an idea one serving (100 -gram bag) of potato chips are about 530 calories while these oven-baked chips are only  111 calories – See the difference. I’d rather eat ice cream!! Just my way of thinking.

About these Homemade Baked Potato Chips

These are such an addiction. I highly recommend you make more than you think you need. I usually use one potato per person as a guide but almost every single time it isn’t enough. The trick is to put it in a hot oven and slice the potato chips.

Below I have used the basic flavoring but there is so much more you can add to make these baked potato chips more interesting. I’m Indian so cumin, paprika and a squeeze of lemon juice come naturally to me. One of my favorite Japanese style potato chips were with seaweed powder. All you have to do it crush some nori in a food processor until it’s coarse then sprinkle them on the potato chips as soon as they are out of the oven. Nori is a bit salty so add less seasoning to the potatoes.

Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)

• Potatoes – It’s best to use baking potatoes like Yukon gold for these as they hold their shape better. But I do use whatever I have on hand and they still turn out delicious. Some potatoes will just need more attention when in the oven as they brown quickly.
• Cooking oil – I love using olive oil but not when I cook on a very high heat like this. Olive oil burns in high heat and is not good for you. So while olive oil is usually healthier than cooking oil, in this case, it’s best to use cooking oil.
• Seasonings – The most basic is salt, pepper. But there is so much more you can do with seasoning. I love making different variations from turmeric to pumpkin spice as well as Parmesan or Cheddar.

Useful Tips and Tools

• Use a clean Bowl to slice the potatoes in
• I use my Chopping board and Kitchen knife to slice the potatoes thin but a Mandeline or potato slicer works best.
• Of course you want to use a Peeler to peel the potatoes
• Use a large Baking Tray and make sure the chips are spread out.
• You want to make sure the Oven is hot and preheated well in advance.

How to Make Homemade Baked Potato Chips (Save/Pin)

• Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F.
• Wash the potatoes well.
• If you prefer peel potatoes ( I prefer to leave the potato skin on).
• Slice them as thin as you can. The thinner the slices the crispier the chips.
• Place them in a bowl.
• Add olive oil, salt, pepper and any seasoning you want (such as rosemary, lemon, garlic, paprika).
• Toss them around in the bowl.
• Lightly spray two baking pans with cooking oil.
• Line the potatoes in a single layer making sure they do not touch to prevent sticking.
• Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning them over ones at around 10 minutes.
• If you have cut uneven slices (like me). Remove the ones that are done so they won’t burn.
• Serve with a side of tomato sauce or accompanied with the main course
