Now listen, traditional chips are already vegan, we get it. This isn’t about reinventing the wheel, it’s about unreal flavors you can slap together at home. You can bake them, or fry them if you’re all about getting little lava bombs of oil on your arms, with your favorite seasoning for a tasty vegan snack for the masses.
Ingredients
2 potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and seasoning to taste

Use a mandolin (not the musical instrument!) to thinly slice potatoes
Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and season, spreading them out on a pan in a single layer
Cook in the oven for 8 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 10 minutes
