Homemade potato chips are already a crowd-pleaser, but this ginger-scallion version takes things to a whole new level of savory, aromatic crunch. Russet potatoes get sliced paper-thin, tossed in garlic-infused oil with freshly grated ginger and white pepper, then baked until golden and rigid at the edges — the kind of crisp that store-bought bags can rarely match. For anyone managing eosinophilic esophagitis, navigating snack foods can feel like a minefield of hidden triggers, but this recipe keeps the ingredient list clean and straightforward. Garlic-infused oil delivers that deep, savory backbone without using whole garlic, and the scallion greens add a mild, fresh bite that finishes each chip beautifully. The technique matters here — patting the potato slices completely dry before baking is the real secret to getting that satisfying snap. A light drizzle of toasted sesame oil at the end is optional but adds a nutty warmth that makes these feel genuinely special. These are the kind of chips you'll want to make on repeat.

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.
