This was my first time making Potato Chips in my own oven and they came out beautifully! These chips are baked, not fried and absolutely delish! READ: The preparation for this recipe is extremely important if you want your chips to come out crispy and chip-like, so make sure to follow each step!

Let me tell you a little something I learned about potatoes... a little secret to getting that crisp-ay-ness. You SOAK THEM IN H2O. Here's why: potatoes are filled with starch that hinders moisture from escaping, leaving lots of water within a potato. It's tough to make something crispy when it's filled with water. So, by soaking the potatoes, some of the starches are released into the water which leaves with potatoes that are soft on the inside and nice and crispy on the outside. Do this method every time you make french fries or chips!

The INGREDIENTS
2 Large Baking Potatoes
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Powder
The DIRECTIONS:
1. Wash your POTATOES well and set on cutting board.
2. Slice thinly with sharp knife. Try to keep your slices as consistent as possible. The cooking time will vary with thickness.
3. Throw slices into a large bowl. Fill with water to the rim, covering all POTATOES.
Soak 1 - 2 hours. Change the water halfway through.
4. Drain POTATOES and set the slices individually onto paper towels.
5. Cover POTATO slices with more paper towels and pat dry.
^ Repeat this method several times until POTATOES are completely dry.
6. Drizzle with very little OLIVE OIL, GARLIC POWDER, SALT, and PEPPER.
7. Bake 20 - 30 minutes, or until crisp. Flip chips over halfway through baking time.
Voila!
