Ingredients:

  • 2 large russet potatoes (about 500 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 mL)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (5 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (2 g) or black pepper (2 g) - optional

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes; peel if preferred.
  3. Cut the potatoes into thin, even slices using a mandoline or knife (about 1/16 inch thick).
  4. Place the potato slices into a large bowl of cold water.
  5. Soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch (this helps with crispiness).
  6. Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  7. Arrange the slices in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  8. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt (and any optional seasonings).
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
