How to Prepare
1. Slice the Potatoes
Use a sharp knife or mandolin to slice potatoes into even, thin rounds—about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. Keeping them uniform helps ensure they cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
2. Soak and Dry (Optional but Recommended)
For extra crispiness, soak the slices in cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch. Then drain and pat dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel or paper towels.
3. Season the Slices
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
