Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist
These chips are crispy, salty, and packed with a rich, savory flavor that makes them hard to resist. They are a perfect homemade snack that feels fresh and satisfying compared to store-bought options.
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into your favorite shapes—wedges, cubes, or sticks. Try to keep the pieces about the same size so they cook evenly.
Step 2
Put the potatoes in a large pot with water and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring it to a boil and cook for about 12 minutes, or until they’re mostly cooked but still a bit firm.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and let them cool down to room temperature. This helps get rid of extra moisture, which makes them crispier later.
Step 4
Once cooled, toss the potatoes in a big bowl with some oil to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle on oregano, pepper, chili flakes, salt, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped coriander leaves. Give everything a good toss so the potatoes are nicely coated with all those flavors.
Step 6
Grease a baking pan with a little oil or cooking spray, then spread the potatoes out in a single layer without overlapping. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, until they turn golden and crispy.
Step 7
Take them out of the oven and let them cool just a bit. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or mayo.

Serving Tips
Serve these chips warm with your favorite dips like sour cream, guacamole, or spicy salsa. They also pair well with sandwiches or burgers for a crunchy side.
Freezing Tips
Let the chips cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They stay fresh and crispy for up to 3 days when kept in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigeration, as it can make them lose their crunch.
