baked potato chips recipe with step by step photos – healthy oven baked potato chips or potato wafers.

potato chips is a favorite with many folks. we also like fried potato chips, but at times one just want to snack on healthy and less oily stuff. i usually make potato chips at home both fried as well as baked. not that we don't buy ready made chips from the market. i do buy that on occasions.

this recipe is a healthy alternative for the fried potato chips. some prep work is required. so make these once you are free from all your chores. i also make dried potato chips in a similar way. just that oil is not added to them and they are dried in the sun or shade instead of baked.

we just prefer the classis plain salted chips. if you want you can season these crisp chips with your favorite herbs and spices.

step by step baked potato chips recipe:

1. in a bowl take 3 cups water + 1 tsp salt. stir so that the salt dissolves.

2. rinse the potatoes first. then peel and slice potatoes using a mandoline or a slicer directly in the bowl containing water. i used 3 large potatoes weighing 550 grams. about 20 ounces. you have to use a mandoline or a slicer for slicing the potatoes. the slices have to be thin. don't slice with knife and thick slices do not become crisp when baked, but still they taste good.

3. slice all the potatoes and immerse them in the water. they should remain immersed in the salted water.

13. then place them in a lightly oiled baking tray keeping ½ cm space in between the slices. bake in a preheated oven at 250 degrees celsius/480 degrees fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes. do keep a check as oven temperatures vary. i baked in batches since i have a small oven. if baking in batches, then no need to brush oil on the baking tray again. high temperatures work best as when i have baked these at lower temperatures, they did not have the light crisp texture in them.

14. once they look crisp and are light golden to golden, then remove from the oven. as soon as they are cooled, store them in an air-tight jar or box. they get cooled within a minute. you can make them more golden if you want.
