Raise your hand if you love potato chips. Everyone? Great. Now, raise your hand if you’ve ever made them at home. No one? Well, that’s about to change. We’ve created a recipe for easy, quick homemade potato chips--no special frying equipment required. We cut potatoes into thin slices, then coat them with olive oil, salt and a dash of Old Bay seasoning. Then we cook them in the broiler until they’re crispy and golden. Make a few batches to serve at your next barbecue, pack in your lunch or snack on at the beach.


Ingredients

4 russet potatoes, washed and dried

¼ cup olive oil

1 tablespoon coarse salt, or more to taste

1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the broiler on its low setting. (Note: If your broiler isn’t adjustable or is particularly intense, just preheat the oven to 475°F.) Place a roasting rack on a baking sheet.

2. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly--about ⅛-inch thick. In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with the olive oil, salt and Old Bay seasoning, if using.

3. Arrange the potatoes on the roasting rack (you may have to do a few batches, as the slices should be spread out so they can get crispy). Cook the potatoes until they’re crisp and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
