Homemade potato chips hit differently when they come out of your own oven — golden at the edges, impossibly crispy, and loaded with flavor you actually chose. Most store-bought chips are fried in canola, sunflower, or soybean oil, so finding a bag that skips those entirely is a real challenge. Here, garlic-infused oil does all the heavy lifting, coating every thin-sliced russet round in savory richness before the oven works its magic. The combination of ground cumin, smoked paprika, and fresh lime zest gives these chips a bold, slightly smoky character that feels way more exciting than anything from a foil bag. The key to that satisfying crunch is patience — patting the slices bone dry before tossing them and baking them on a wire rack so hot air circulates underneath. A final squeeze of lime and a pinch of flaky sea salt right before serving pulls everything together in the best possible way. These disappear fast, so consider making a double batch.

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.
