1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.

2. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes, wash them thoroughly, and pat them dry to remove excess moisture. Slice them thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.

3. Season the slices: Lay the potato slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and cracked pepper, and mix until evenly coated. Arrange them in a single layer to prevent overlapping.

4. Bake to perfection: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the slices turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.

5. Serve and enjoy: Once baked, let the slices cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy them plain or pair with your favorite dip
