These Healthy Smoked Paprika Potato Chips are crispy, smoky, and baked or air-fried for a guilt-free snack. Made with just a few ingredients, they deliver bold flavor and satisfying crunch without the excess oil.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline for uniform thickness.
  2. Soak the slices in cold water for at least 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean towel.
  4. Toss the slices with oil, smoked paprika, sea salt, and optional seasonings.
  5. Arrange slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in an air fryer basket.
  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, or air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, flipping once halfway.
  7. Let chips cool slightly to crisp up fully before serving.

Notes

  • Soaking potatoes helps them crisp up better and prevents sticking.
  • Use a mandoline for even, thin slices that cook uniformly.
  • Watch closely during the last few minutes to prevent burning, especially in the air fryer.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be revived in the oven if stored.
  • Customize seasonings to your taste—try chili powder, rosemary, or vinegar powder.
