Instructions

Select potatoes: Choose firm red, white, and blue potatoes that are free of blemishes to ensure the best texture and flavor.
Wash potatoes: Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water and scrub to remove all dirt and impurities from the skin.
Slice potatoes: Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the potatoes into thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick for optimal crispiness.
Soak slices (optional): Place the potato slices in cold water and soak for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps make the chips crisper.
Season slices: Drain and pat dry the potato slices, then toss them in a mixing bowl with olive oil, sea salt, and finely chopped fresh herbs to evenly coat.
Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Bake chips: Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the chips turn golden brown and crisp.
Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet to allow them to crisp up further before serving or storing.

Notes

Soaking potato slices in cold water removes excess starch and creates a crisper chip.
You can customize the fresh herbs based on preference or seasonality.
Keep an eye on the chips towards the end of baking to prevent burning as ovens may vary.
Store cooled chips in an airtight container to maintain crispiness for up to 3 days.
