Pistachio Free Easy Smoky Paprika Potato Chips

Homemade potato chips hit differently than anything you'll find in a bag, and this smoky, garlicky version is proof. Store-bought chips are a minefield for anyone avoiding tree nuts, since shared production lines and flavoring blends can introduce cross-contact in ways that are nearly impossible to track. Here, every ingredient is straightforward — russet potatoes, garlic-infused oil, smoked paprika, and a little heat from cayenne if you're feeling bold — so you know exactly what you're eating. The trick to getting that satisfying crunch is blotting the potato slices bone-dry before they ever hit the oven, then baking them on a wire rack so hot air circulates all the way around each chip. Smoked paprika does serious heavy lifting in the flavor department, giving these chips a deep, almost barbecue-like warmth without any complicated spice blends. Let them cool fully on the rack and they'll crisp up into the kind of snack that disappears faster than you expect.
