2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil

The Foolproof Method
Step 1: Prep Like a Pro
Scrub potatoes clean (peel if desired, but skins add great texture)
Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline for even cooking
CRUCIAL STEP: Soak slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch
Drain and pat COMPLETELY dry with kitchen towels – this is key for crispiness!
Step 2: Season to Perfection
In a large bowl, toss dried potato slices with oil and seasonings
Massage gently to ensure every slice is evenly coated
Let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate
