This light and crispy baked potato chip recipe is easy enough for anyone to make, and will certainly satisfy your craving. What makes this recipe taste most like deep-fried potato chips are the chips' crispiness, due to how thinly the potatoes are cut: The thinner you slice the potatoes, the better. Customize the flavor of your chips by adding garlic salt, cayenne pepper, or fresh cracked black pepper. Serve these chips with your favorite dip, alongside a sandwich or simply on their own.
2 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
