Ingredients

serves 4

　　Vegetable oil cooking spray

　　2 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

　　3 tablespoons olive oil

　　Pinch of cayenne pepper

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　

Step 1

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

　　

Step 2

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