Baked Potato Chips

Made these tonight along with cheesesteaks. Next time I will skip the cayenne pepper and add garlic. Too spicy; took away from the flavor of the chip. I cut the potatoes with my food processor and the were the perfect thickness.

Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 40 mins
Serves: 4

Cooking spray
2 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3 T olive oil
Coarse salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. Put potatoes, oil, 1 tablespoon salt, and the cayenne pepper in a large bowl; season with pepper. Toss to combine.

Arrange potato slices on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1/4 inch apart. Bake, rotating halfway through, unti potatoes are crisp and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Spread out potatoes on parchment paper; let dry 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
