How to Make Homemade Chips
Let’s get into it.
This method works perfectly if you’re searching for how to make homemade potato chips in the oven.
1. Slice the potatoes very thin
The thinner, the better. Try to keep the slices as even as possible so they bake evenly.
2. Wash them well
This removes excess starch and helps them get crispier, and then dry them well.
3. Season
Put the potato slices in a bowl, add:
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- Your favorite spices
Mix well so every slice is nicely coated.
4. Arrange on a baking tray
Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the potatoes in a single layer.
No overlapping, this is important if you want crispy chips.
Baking Time & Temperature
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F).
- About 10 minutes per side
- Turn them halfway through
Every oven is different, so keep an eye on them. Some slices may need a couple of extra minutes.
Once they’re golden and crispy, take them out and let them cool on the tray — they’ll get even crispier as they cool 😍
Extra Tips for Perfect Homemade Chips
- Slice the potatoes as evenly as possible
- Don’t overcrowd the tray (use two trays if needed)
- Let them cool before eating for maximum crunch
- If some slices are thicker, remove the thinner ones first
Simple details, big difference.
