The desirable thickness is 2 millimeters, but the thickness is permissible and up to 5 millimeters (in this case the chips will simply be prepared longer).

It is not necessary to take a special interest in oil, your task is simply to grease the potatoes. Note that you do not need to salt potatoes. The preparatory stage is over, we proceed to the basic stage. We take out the baking sheet, cover the bottom with food aluminum foil, lay the chips in one layer on the baking sheet, wait until the oven is heated to 200 degrees, and place the baking sheet there.

If it is completed, turn off the oven, get the chips, sprinkle them with salt and let it cool. You can, of course, do not just concentrate on salt, you can sprinkle with pepper or seasonings, then how will you manifest your imagination. Chips are at home ready!
