How do you store baked chips?

Just like the store-bought variety, homemade chips need to be stored in an airtight container to avoid absorbing moisture. Otherwise, they'll become soft and soggy instead of crunchy. Freshly baked homemade chips will stay fresh for approximately 2-3 days in an airtight container, although they taste best fresh from the oven. Just make sure the chips are completely cool before storing them to avoid steam (and excess moisture) in the container.

Do you have to add oil for homemade baked potato chips?

If you want crispy chips, you do need to add some oil. However, you don't always have to fry chips to get the best texture. Instead, you can easily bake them in the oven for a healthy snack. However, even oven baked potato chips should have some oil as it will help to crisp them up in the oven. You don't need a ton, but a little bit can make a huge difference!

What type of seasonings taste good on homemade baked potato chips?

If you've ever seen all the chip flavors at the grocery store, you know there are tons of ways to season them to make them delicious! We like to keep it simple with salt and garlic powder, but you can also add onion powder, cayenne pepper, parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, BBQ dry rub, your favorite seasoning salt, or a ton of other options. Get creative with it and try something different!

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Use a mandolin slicer or a knife to slice potatoes into very thin slices, about ⅛ thick. Use a paper towel to pat the potato slices completely dry.
In a large mixing bowl, add potato slices, olive oil, salt and garlic powder. Toss well to coat evenly.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 25 minutes. Flip them once halfway through baking.
Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

How to store: Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Cool completely first to avoid steam, which will cause the chips to become soft.

How to reheat: If you prefer warm chips, bake the leftovers on a sheet tray at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes to make them hot and crispy again.
