Homemade potato chips are one of those snacks that feel almost impossibly good once you realize how straightforward they are to pull off in your own kitchen. These oven-baked beauties get their bold, aromatic flavor from garlic-infused oil and freshly grated ginger — a combination that makes the whole house smell incredible while they're roasting. Slicing the russet potatoes paper-thin and patting them completely dry is the real secret to that satisfying, shatteringly crisp texture you'd expect from a bag off the shelf. The scallion greens go on right after the chips come out of the oven, so they soften just slightly against the heat and cling to every golden edge. A finishing drizzle of toasted sesame oil is optional but absolutely worth it for a nutty, savory depth that takes the whole batch to another level. Since every ingredient here is naturally free of stimulants, you can snack freely without scanning labels for hidden additives or energy-boosting extras. These are the kind of chips you'll make once and then find yourself planning your next batch before the bowl is even empty.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes crosswise as thin as possible — about 1/16 inch (1–2 mm). Pat the slices thoroughly dry with paper towels; the drier they are, the crisper the chips.
