Can I use other potatoes?

Absolutely, Russets work best for that classic chip crispness, but Yukon Golds make lovely chips too (just bake at 375°F). Avoid waxy potatoes like red bliss - they don't crisp up as nicely. If you are interested in other potato preparations, check out the garlic herb sweet potato fries recipe .

Can I make these oil-free?

I don't recommend it - that little bit of oil helps them crisp up beautifully. But if you must, try spraying the slices lightly with cooking spray instead.

Why are my chips not crispy?

Two likely culprits: slices were too thick (aim for that 1/16-inch) or they needed more baking time. Don't be afraid to give them a few extra minutes. If you are curious about air fryer results versus oven baking, you might want to read about air fryer chips soggy science .

Can I double the recipe?

Of course, Just use two baking sheets and swap their positions halfway through. You might need an extra minute or two of baking time.

Are these gluten-free?

Naturally, Potatoes, oil, and spices are all gluten-free. Just check your spice labels if you're super sensitive.
