Homemade potato chips hit differently than anything you'll find in a bag, and this smoky, garlicky version is genuinely hard to stop eating. Russet potatoes get sliced paper-thin, tossed in garlic-infused oil, and dusted with smoked paprika, black pepper, and an optional kick of cayenne before going into the oven on a wire rack — that rack setup is the secret to getting air circulating underneath each chip so they crisp up evenly without any frying. The whole seasoning blend is naturally free of eggs and any hidden binders or coatings that can sneak into store-bought snacks, so you know exactly what you're eating. Blotting the slices dry before baking is a small step that makes a big difference, pulling out excess moisture so the oven can do its job and deliver that satisfying snap. A final rest on the rack lets them firm up completely, and by the time they're cool enough to grab, they're deeply golden and almost impossible to resist. Whether you're snacking solo or setting out a bowl for company, these chips deliver serious flavor with nothing more than a handful of pantry staples.

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.
