Made with just a few simple ingredients, they're easy to prepare and guaranteed to be a hit with everyone.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
2 tbsp self-raising flour
30g
1 tsp paprika
5g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
2. Slice the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, and if desired, peel them (leaving the skin on can add extra crunch and nutrients).
- Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into thick slices, roughly 1/4-inch (about 0.6 cm) thick. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
3. Coat the Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and paprika.
- Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the flour and paprika mixture.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Lay the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping the slices to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Lightly spray the top of the potato slices with a short spray of cooking oil. This will help them achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
5. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake the potato slices for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. (Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the thickness of the slices, so keep an eye on them.)
- Halfway through the baking time, use a spatula to gently flip the slices for even cooking and crispiness on both sides.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Once baked to your desired level of crispiness, remove the potato chips from the oven.
- Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes to allow them to firm up.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the crunchy thick-cut potato chips immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dips and condiments.

Tips:

- Choose firm, large potatoes for uniform slices and better texture.

- Soaking the potato slices in cold water for about 30 minutes can help remove excess starch, which makes for a crisper chip.

- Pat the potato slices dry thoroughly before tossing them in flour and seasoning to prevent sogginess.

- You can experiment with other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili flakes, to suit your taste preferences.

With these simple instructions and helpful tips, you'll be able to create irresistibly crunchy thick-cut potato chips right at home. Perfectly seasoned and crispy, they make an excellent snack or side dish for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade chips and feel free to get creative with your seasoning choices!
