- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- Step 3: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the parchment paper.

- Step 5: In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder.
- Step 6: Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the potato slices, then flip the slices and repeat to coat both sides.
- Step 7: Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 35 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through baking to crisp up both sides.
- Step 8: Remove from oven once crispy and golden. Serve warm with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For extra crispiness, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch. Dry thoroughly before oiling and seasoning.
- Try adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the spice mix for a smoky or spicier flavor.
- If you prefer a lower oven temperature, you can bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit but increase baking time slightly until crisp.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of russets for a sweeter and vibrant variation.
Storage
Store leftover potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 375-degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, other starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold work well, but russets yield the crispiest texture due to their higher starch content.
How do I make sure the potato slices are crispy?
Thin, uniform slices, a light coating of oil, and flipping halfway through baking are key. Soaking the slices in cold water before baking can also help remove excess starch for a crispier finish.
