Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes, washed and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife for even cooking.
3. Soak the potato slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
4. Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel.
5. Toss the potato slices in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
6. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Additional Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor. If you prefer a lower-fat version, use a cooking spray instead of olive oil.
