We’ve been experimenting with recreating some of our favorite snacks at home. Potato Chips are a kid favorite and, while I wouldn’t recommend serving them with every meal, are great for an occasional snack or a treat when friends come over. I’ve also had to make sure we are gluten free–no easy task, I can assure you–when my daughter eats with us. These homemade chips are so easy to make and require so few ingredients that you may never go back to purchasing chips at the store again. They can also be adapted to make many different varieties, including Bar-b-que, cheese flavored and more.
- 2 medium potatoes, very thinly sliced
- salt, pepper to taste
- Oil for deep frying
- Thinly slice potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet, adding enough to make sure potatoes are covered. Cook for five minutes, turning once.
- Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Serve while warm.
Here’s some tips for easy variations:
- Cheese Potato Chips: Sprinkle with your favorite flavor of grated cheese or with canned Parmesan cheese.
- Greek Potato Chips: Sprinkle potatoes with a teaspoon of Greek Seasoning immediately after removing from heat.
- Dill Potato Chips: Mince 1/4 cup fresh dill and sprinkle over chips before serving.
These potato chips are good served plain but are also good served with dip. We made a simple dill dip to serve with our chips using 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill. Mix the ingredients together and let set for one hour for flavors to mix.

These look delicious! I struggle making my own homemade potato chips – they usually don’t end up as crisp as I would like.
We make homemade french fries all the time. It is really similar to this only cut differently and a few different steps. But the idea is the same. They are seriously the best salty snack we have. Love them.
We use to make potato chips and I was thinking about it the other night. Thanks for a recipe as I’ll try these out soon.
Your chips look great! I like to make mine a little spicy.
I love this recipe! I am planning to make this for a family movie night this weekend.
I love this recipe! It kind of reminds me of a fancy restaurant that we went to in Salem where they had an appetizer with chips that we all couldn’t get enough of! 😉
