Homemade potato chips hit differently when they come out of your own oven — crispy, deeply golden, and loaded with smoky, garlicky flavor that no bag from the store can quite match. Russet potatoes are sliced paper-thin, tossed in garlic-infused oil with smoked paprika, black pepper, and a kick of cayenne, then baked on a wire rack so hot air circulates all the way around each slice. That rack setup is the real secret here — it's what gives you that satisfying snap instead of a sad, chewy chip. Store-bought snacks can be a minefield when you're avoiding dairy, with hidden butter powders, cheese seasonings, and shared production lines lurking on the label. Every ingredient in this recipe is straightforwardly plant-based, so you know exactly what you're eating. They firm up beautifully as they cool, which means a little patience at the end goes a long way toward that perfect crunch.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Set a wire rack on a large baking sheet and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray or a thin brush of garlic-infused oil.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes as thin as possible — about 1/16 inch (1–2 mm). Lay the slices in a single layer on paper towels, top with more paper towels, and press firmly to blot away as much surface moisture as possible.
