Homemade Baked Potato Chips

Another one of those No-Recipe-Recipes ... yummy, crisp potato chips that you bake yourself, season yourself, and coat with healthy olive oil.  So easy and just delicious!

Break out the mandolin for this one because you really do need the potatoes to be thin (not too thin though) and uniform, and a mandolin does that with ease, making a super speedy job of it too. I went through these two potatoes in literally seconds. Toss the potato slices with some olive oil.

Then spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been brushed with a bit of olive oil. Here's where you can really have fun! Season them however you like! I used Bacon Salt seasoning, Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning, and salt and pepper on this tray. Try some BBQ seasoning, Lawry's Seasoning Salt, garlic salt, Parmesan cheese, paprika, chili seasoning, cayenne, popcorn seasoning, fajita or taco seasoning, rosemary, powdered ranch dressing mix, dry Italian seasoning, Greek seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, or whatever you like!

You'll bake them at about 400 degrees for right about 20 minutes, or until they crisp up. Remove them from the baking sheet to a paper towel to soak up excess oil, then transfer to a serving bow and enjoy their lovely crispiness! Yes, they are crisp - just like the ones you buy in the bag.
