Learn how to make crispy Blackstone potato chips on your griddle. Thin-sliced russet potatoes cook up golden and crunchy for the perfect easy snack or side — keep them simple or top with cheese and bacon for a loaded version.
Ingredients
2largerusset potatoes, sliced ⅛-inch thick
2tablespoonsvegetable oil, or canola
1teaspoonkosher salt
½teaspoonblack pepper
For loaded chips (optional):
1½cupsshredded cheese, cheddar or Colby Jack
5strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
Toppings (optional): sour cream, green onions or chives, ranch dressing
Instructions
Wash and slice the potatoes into thin ⅛-inch rounds. Soak in cold water 20–30 minutes, then pat completely dry.
Set the Blackstone griddle to medium-high and let it fully preheat. Drizzle the oil over the surface and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Lay the potato slices in a single layer with space between them. Cook 4–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden and crispy.
Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper the moment they come off the griddle.
For loaded chips: turn off the heat, top each chip with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon, and let the residual heat melt the cheese.
Serve hot with ranch or sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
Equipment
Blackstone Griddle
Mandoline slicer (recommended)
Notes
Thinner, evenly-cut slices give the crispiest chips — a mandoline helps.
Soaking and thorough drying is the key to crisp, not soggy, results.
Best served fresh; re-crisp plain leftovers on the griddle.
