I made potato chips the other day. Due to lack of utensil and patience, they turned out more like potato chunks rather than thinly sliced chips. Still delicious though. Some meaty, some crispy. All baked at high temperature with olive oil and a smattering of whatever herbs I found in the pantry. The only problem was that the thin ones burned quickly...so next time I will separate them into another baking batch. 

I used 3 potatoes.
paprika
oregano
hot madras curry powder
cumin seeds
kosher salt
regular salt
sea salt (yeah, all 3...for different textures haha)
olive oil

The actual making is common sense. Thinly slice potatoes, evenly smatter them with as much herb/spices/salts as heart burn desires,  coat baking pans with olive oil, bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes (maybe less...just keep on checking for the color).






Anyway, turned out pretty greasy (I'm trigger happy on the olive oil), which means I ate nearly the whole batch in one sitting. But definitely next time, I'm going to invest in a potato peeler, or some kind of knife that slices thin.
