Spiralized Potato Chips Recipe (With Pictures)

Crispy, homemade spiralized potato chips—easy to make, full of flavor, and totally irresistible!

March Madness is in full swing and has sports fans everywhere on the edge of their seats. The college basketball tournament is looking to be one of the most exciting sporting events of the season and has already served up several thrilling underdog wins.

Of course, food is essential while watching these action-packed games on TV. John and the kids love potato chips, so we decided to make our own nutritious chips at home.

I got the idea to make these chips while I was using my Spiralizer from Paderno World Cuisine. This handy gadget lets you turn vegetables into noodle-like strands.

My spiralizer comes with four different blades, but up until now I’d only used one of them to turn zucchini into zoodles like these 6 Nutritious and Delicious Zoodles Recipes, and potatoes into spaghetti-thin noodles such as Sweet Potato Noodles With Dairy-Free Cream Sauce and these oven-baked Curly Cheese Fries.

However, the other day I decided to experiment with the straight blade and discovered that it made a thick ribbon-like cut.

I love using my spiralizer to slice the potatoes, but if you don’t have one, no worries!

You can easily slice them by hand or with a mandoline, just like I do in my Irish nachos Pub Style Potatoes, delicious Low Carb Zucchini Lasagna, our review of Dr. Ted Naiman’s PE Potatoes Au Gratin and my Creamy Chicken Potato Casserole.

I couldn’t wait to share this with you, so I’ve added it to my game day party food collection.

Set up a spread with these chips and other party favorites like: Socca flatbread the French street-food, crowd-pleasing Gluten Free Baked Ziti, the best Chicken Wings, and tender juicy Country-Style Pork Ribs.

Here’s How To Make Spiralized Potato Chips

*Free printable recipe card with complete list of ingredients is available at the end of the post.

First, I trimmed the end of each potato flat in order to secure a firm hold onto the sharp prongs of the spiralizer. Then, I cut the potatoes using the straight blade for a continuous twist.

Once I cut the ribbons apart with a knife, I had extremely thin potato slices that I could season and bake for a nutritious treat. This is the quickest and easiest way to slice up potatoes if you are making them for a big party.

Again, if you don’t have a spiralizer, you could also make these chips by slicing up the potatoes by hand or using a mandoline.

I sliced up both white potatoes and sweet potatoes, but seasoned them differently. First, I laid the white potato slices on an oiled baking sheet, brushed each with olive oil, and sprinkled them with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

For the sweet potato slices, I used salt, pepper and rosemary.

Each tray was baked in the oven for 10 minutes. Then I carefully turned them over and baked them for another 5-10 minutes.

The olive oil is the secret for getting these to crisp perfectly. No deep frying necessary! Just crunchy, golden chips, beautifully seasoned, and with a slight kick of spiciness.

Serving suggestions

My family loves appetizers and finger foods, and I’ve posted a lot of our favorites on the blog.

Also, these homemade potato chips make a perfect side when served with a delicious gluten free sandwich or my Bacon Cheeseburger on a Fluffy Gluten-Free Bun.

Best dips for your chips

Of course, no chips would be complete without a dipping sauce. My easy-to-make Caramelized Onion Dip Recipe (in the pictures) is so versatile and perfect for dipping pretty much anything. My kids ended up dipping other vegetables in it too.

I love making homemade, fresh dips rather than buying them in a jar from the supermarket.

Other dip options include zesty Homemade Salsa, guacamole from this Skinny Low Carb Taco Bowl Recipe, warm and cheesy Game Day Chili Dip, or a Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip!

Pro tips and recipe notes

What kind of potatoes work best for this recipe? I love using russet potatoes for their crispiness, but you can even experiment with sweet potatoes in different colors! And I always recommend organic, if possible.

How thick should I slice the potatoes? Aim for about 1/8 inch or even 1/16 inch even thickness so they cook evenly. Thinner slices will get extra crispy.

What seasonings do you recommend? You can get creative! Classic sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder are great, but paprika, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese can elevate the flavor. Just season to your taste!

How do I store leftover chips? If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay crispy for a day or two, but fresh is always best!

These chips are sure to put a smile on your family’s faces. They are such a nutritious, easy, and delicious alternative to traditional fried potato chips. And a dip just makes them a thousand times better.

I read recently that potato chips are the number one snack food in America. I don’t know if that’s true, but I do know that these chips were the number one snack food in my family’s house this weekend. 😉

Enjoy! Have fun watching those March Madness games and may the best team win!
