Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
Using a crinkle cutter, slice the scrubbed russet potatoes into even 3–4 mm rounds and soak them in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and thoroughly pat the potato slices dry with kitchen towels to remove all moisture.
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper, then sprinkle over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Arrange the potato slices in a single, non-overlapping layer on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crispy at the edges.
Allow chips to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh dill, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure slices are evenly cut for consistent cooking.
Drying the potatoes thoroughly is key to achieving crispiness.
Adjust cayenne pepper to control spice level.
Best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
