      The potatoes are boiled to lower starch level and to give them a better flavor and texture. Hope you liked them if you already tried this recipe.

    the whole point of baked chips is to avoid the oil, but you are adding over 400 calories of oil. Might as well grab a bag of layā€™s. You are only avoiding the preservatives by making them at home.

      I was not necessarily trying to make chips with no oil, i was trying not to fry them in deep oil, and yes to avoid preservatives. 3 tbspof oil is around 360 calories,(not over 400 ) but you can add less or none if that pleases you more. This recipe is more about the technique, the fact that it is important to boil them for few minutes and only then to bake them. They should be good with no oil too, didn't;t try yet, I am not so afraid about oil in general, if used with moderation. If you try them with noi oil , before me, let me know, I am curious how they are:)

    I followed the recipe as written and I canā€™t get the crispness that you usually see in normal potato chips. The texture is more like that of a scalloped potato. Am I messing up by eating them pretty just when they come out of the oven or am I not cooking them long enough?

    Also, just as an FYI, you can bake the potato slices without oil. I really thought theyā€™d be a burnt mess without it, but they actually came out just as if I did put oil on them. I learn something new everydayā€¦.

      Yes, after the potatoes cool they get the texture of chip more, actually they get pretty crispy. Also is important for the slices not to be too thick either. Thank you for letting me know you cooked them with no oil. Good to know you can do either way.

      I don't think you necessarily did something wrong, maybe the slices were too thin, or the water was boiling too hard, or the potatoes were not the right ones. I use red potatoes, that are not breaking, and keep their shape better.

    We made these last night and, while they were very good, they never got crisp. I donā€™t know what we did wrong, but they came out of the oven limp and soggy. I wonder if it was because my husband used too much oil (he didnā€™t listen when I said three tablespoons, just poured in a bunch). Weā€™re going to have to try them again though, next time measuring. Everyone loved them anyway.

      Thanks for trying the recipe, sorry it didn't go perfectly for you. I haven't made them for a while now, but as I remember they get crisp while they cool, don't serve them right after you take them from the oven, they need to rest for few minutes and they get crispy. Don't cover them with plastic. Another thing is the thickness of the potato slices, around 1/8 inch (about 3 mm) works well, if too thick they might not get crispy. Hope this helps.

    You can use popcorn seasoning flavors for the potato chips ā€¦ they work great. We put them on after they cooled off and got crispy. Then put some in a zip lock bag with the seasonings and gently shook them to get them coated.

      Well.. I am doing these chips pretty often, as my daughters are really enjoying them, and from what I have noticed I can tell you that they don't work well with all kind of potatoes, also it is important to be cut as equal as possible, some may be done earlier and need to remove them before others, so you will need to keep an eye on them so some don't get burned. Also it is important to let them cool completely after removing from the oven to get them hard, otherwise they will be soft. Hope this helps, let me know if any other questions. Wish you a Happy New Year.

    I am curious as to how crisp they are, how long they stay fresh (with obvious ziplock,etc), and to also HIGHLY suggest seasoning with`Old Bay`, lightly brings out natural flavors-canā€™t put a finger on why theyā€™re great,- the heavier you go the more pronounced the flavor, from seafood(Chesapeake crab) sensation to full blown `OLD BAY` chips that you buy! Experiment & let me know what you ALL think.

    Had some leftover sliced potatoes and came across this recipe. Streamed the potatoes for 3 min instead of boilingā€¦previous posts had mentioned the potatoes falling apartā€¦worked perfectlyā€¦(I did dump the par cooked potatoes on paper towels and blotted them just to get off the starch layer before putting them on the baking sheet), then placed the potatoes in a single layer on my parchment lined pan, brushed lightly both sides w/olive oil (I used less than a tbls. on both pansā€¦it also offers control over how much oil goes on each chip, for those folks concerned about the oil), then lightly shook a mix of paprika, sea salt, cayenne on one batch and some of my homemade Old Bay seasoning on the other (I live in Austria so much of my American favorites have to be homemadeā€¦thank you internet)..baked for 7 min (I had sliced my potatoes w/a mandolin so they were pretty thin and my oven is finicky so itā€™s a crap shoot on time, so I checked them every few minutes)ā€¦removed, let restā€¦they came out perfect! Mine may have taken a little extra time to make because of the extra steps of blotting and brushing, but the end result was greatā€¦Once my husband tasted them, he couldnā€™t wait for dinner and ate them all as soon as they were readyā€¦Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe! Itā€™s a keeper.

    I prepared the potatoes the same way I did for hash browns at a restaurant where I worked. That is to just soak them in water that removes most of the starch. With the hash browns it keeps them from turning gray when cooked. The chips are thin enough to remove most of the starch. I didnā€™t see the need to boil them. I covered them in a bowl with cold water an swished them around a bit for a half minute. You can see the starch in the water. They turned out OK for me.

    Did not work for me. I followed the directions exactly (three minutes to boil the potatoes) and each time I removed the chips to test, I wound-up putting them back in the oven for a few more minutes. Two hours later and not a single potato slice became crispy, even after sitting.

    I know the issue is not with my oven as I baked a cake afterwards and it baked for the correct time and turned out perfectly. I guess my choosing russet potatoes is the problem.

    Tried with no oil but it gave them a burnt taste. Try sprinkling Chilli powder on them before cooking. I also sprayed mine with vinegar and salt ā€“ it worked.

    So I tried this turned out pretty well, I used white potatoes but with the soft center issue ppl had is if you allow donā€™t mind them getting really brown they do get hard and crispy. Also try to cut them as thin but not too thin but the width of two quarters stacked together seemed to work best. Otherwise just got to let them keep baking and do poke tests in the middles for the more brown ones. I also used a pizza stone used olive oil spray on it and they baked quicker than on a regular baking sheet.
