Why This Recipe Works
Did you know that that baking one’s own potato chips makes them compatible with the Whole30 diet? Not that I’m following the diet, with my steady consumption of desserts as of late, but I know a lot of you are checking it out. I’m hoping this will benefit you!
On the diet or not, this is a great snack! I set this bowl between my boys as they watched anoooooooother episode of Pokemon and when I came back the bowl was empty! Not a single lick saved for Mom. So good for adults and good for kids.

How To Make Whole30 Chips
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and set aside. Wash the potatoes and slice to 1/4-inch thickness. Place on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 2
Drizzle oil over the potato slices and toss to coat completely. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning potatoes with a spatula at the halfway mark.
Place on parchment paper to cool. Store in an air-tight container.
Recipe Notes
- These oils should never be used if attempting to comply to the Whole30 program: corn, rice bran, soybean and peanut.
- Sprinkle garlic powder over the potato slices for an added punch of flavor!
- To make slicing easier, use a mandolin slicer to get the perfectly-size discs every single time.
- These healthy chips are perfect for snack time! Set them out for the kids or at your next adult gathering and they will be the first things to get gobbled up.
- Feel free to experiment with herbs and spices! Try topping the chips with cumin or fresh or dried parsley!
