Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes (fried) or 25 minutes (baked)
Total Time: 20 to 35 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 1 pound russet potatoes (about 2 large), washed, dried and sliced very thin (about 1/4-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• vegetable oil, for frying

Here's how to make it:

1. Stir together the paprika, garlic powder, sugar and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. 
2. To fry the potato chips, fill a large deep skillet or deep fryer with oil. Heat to 375 degrees F. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3 to 4 minutes (don't overcrowd the fryer) or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel. Immediately sprinkle with the seasonings. Repeat with remaining potatoes. 
3. To bake the potato chips, heat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with about 3 tablespoons of oil and the barbecue seasoning. Put onto baking sheets in a single layer. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Watch the chips close at the end because they can burn quickly.
