Crispy, smoky, and bright with citrus, these oven-baked potato chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Russet potatoes get sliced paper-thin, tossed in garlic-infused oil with ground cumin, smoked paprika, and fresh lime zest, then baked on a wire rack until golden and satisfyingly crunchy. The wire rack setup is the real secret here — it lets hot air circulate underneath each slice so you get that chip-shop crispness without a drop of frying oil. For anyone navigating a red meat allergy, packaged snacks can be a minefield of shared lines and ambiguous seasoning blends, but every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. A final squeeze of lime and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the end lifts the whole thing into something that feels almost fancy for a potato chip. These are best eaten fresh off the rack while they're still warm and at peak crunch, though they rarely last long enough to go stale anyway.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Set a wire rack on a large baking sheet and lightly brush or spray the rack with a little of the garlic-infused oil.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into rounds about 1/16-inch (1.5 mm) thick — thin enough to see light through but not so thin they tear. Pat the slices thoroughly dry with paper towels; any surface moisture will steam rather than crisp.
