For The Potato Chips

6. Take out the slices on a strainer.
7. Now, pat dry the slices on a clean kitchen towel or kitchen roll.
8. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, making sure they are not overlapping.
9. Sprinkle the prepared mint salt on them.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp.( Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning)
11. Once the chips are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Recipe note – If you don’t have an oven, you can also dry the mint salt by simply putting it out in sun for a couple of days.
