Sesame Free Easy Ginger Scallion Potato Chips

Homemade potato chips are already a crowd-pleaser, but this ginger-scallion version takes the concept somewhere genuinely exciting. Thin-sliced russet potatoes get tossed in garlic-infused oil with freshly grated ginger and white pepper before hitting a hot oven, and the result is shatteringly crisp, deeply savory, and fragrant in the best possible way. The scallion greens go on right at the end while the chips are still hot, so they wilt just slightly and cling to every golden edge. Store-bought flavored chips can be a minefield when you're avoiding sesame — hidden sesame oil and sesame-dusted seasonings show up in the most unexpected places. Here, the optional sesame oil drizzle is clearly called out and easy to skip, making the whole recipe straightforward to adapt without sacrificing any of the bold flavor. A mandoline helps you get those paper-thin slices that bake up perfectly rigid and snackable, though a sharp knife and a little patience works just as well. These are the kind of chips you make once and then find yourself making every single weekend.
