Carrageenan Free Easy Smoky Paprika Potato Chips

Crunchy, smoky, and deeply satisfying, these oven-baked potato chips hit every snack craving without a single questionable additive. Store-bought chips are one of the sneakiest places carrageenan and other stabilizers hide, often tucked into flavoring blends or coatings you'd never suspect. Here, the ingredient list is refreshingly short — just russet potatoes, garlic-infused oil, and a bold spice blend of smoked paprika, black pepper, and optional cayenne. The key to that signature crunch is slicing the potatoes paper-thin and blotting away as much moisture as possible before they ever hit the oven, so every chip bakes up rigid and golden rather than soft or chewy. Elevating them on a wire rack lets hot air circulate underneath, which means you get even crispness across the whole batch without flipping constantly. The smoked paprika brings a rich, almost barbecue-like depth that makes these taste far more complex than their simple ingredient list suggests. Once they cool on the rack and firm up completely, it's genuinely hard to stop eating them.
