Easy Cheesy Potato Chips

Who doesn't love a crispy potato chip snack?  Instead of buying packaged chips from the store, you can easily make your own at home with just a few simple ingredients.  These cheesy potato chips are crispy, flavorful, and a healthier alternative to many store-bought snacks.  I discovered this recipe on TikTok and loved how simple it was.  Feel free to customize it by adding your favorite seasonings or cheese blends.

 

Ingredients:

1 large potato

1 cup shredded Mexican taco blend cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)

Optional Seasonings:

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Paprika

Black pepper

Italian seasoning

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a baking sheet or baking pan with parchment paper.

Peel the potato and slice it into very thin rounds.  A mandoline slicer works best for even slices.

Bring a pot of water to a boiling temperature.   Add the potato slices and parboil for 1 minute.  Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.

Spread half of the shredded cheese evenly over the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer over the cheese, slightly overlapping if necessary.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.  Add any desired seasonings.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. As the cheese cools, it becomes crisp.

Break into chips and serve.

Tips

For extra crispiness, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible.

Try using cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, or a combination of cheeses.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, although they are best enjoyed fresh.

 

These crispy cheesy potato chips make a delicious snack for movie nights, parties, or whenever you're craving something crunchy and satisfying.
