Baked potato chips are a healthier option than traditional fried potato chips. They contain less fat and calories and are easier to prepare. Making baked potato chips at home allows you to have complete control over the fat and sodium content. For a crunchy, homemade treat, follow these steps and learn how to make baked potato chips.
1Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).Ad
2Peel 2 to 4 large baking potatoes.
3Slice the potatoes into 1/8 inch (.3 cm) thick slices. If you have access to a mandolin or salad slicer, these make slicing much easier.
- Use a serrated knife if you prefer wavy style chips.
4Rinse the potato slices and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Dry potatoes will cook faster and make crispier chips.
5Spray 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.
- If you prefer a richer flavored chip, melt 1/4 cup (59 ml) of butter to coat the baking sheets instead of spray.
6Arrange the slices of potatoes on the baking sheets so that they are in a single layer. This helps potatoes cook thoroughly and keeps them from sticking to each other.
7Spray the top of the slices with cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
8Sprinkle with salt to taste.
- You can add more flavor to this baked potato chip recipe by adding garlic, onion or chili powder. Dried herbs such as dill, oregano or chives can also be used for different flavor combinations. Sprinkle the seasonings over the sprayed or buttered slices prior to baking.
9Bake for 15 to 30 minutes or until the chips are evenly browned. Watch closely to avoid over-cooking.
- If some slices brown more quickly than others, remove them with tongs and continue baking the rest.
10Transfer your homemade baked potato chips onto paper towels and salt again, if desired.

- You can reduce the sodium content of your chips by using sea salt instead of table salt. Lime or lemon juice can also add a salty kick to your chips with no salt at all.
- This recipe can be modified by using sweet potatoes instead of baking potatoes. You can add salt and garlic powder if desired. They can also be made sweeter by sprinkling the slices with granulated or brown sugar, or cinnamon instead of salt.
- Try this method with other root vegetables such as carrots, turnips, parsnips or beets if you prefer.
