Oven-Baked Potato Chips

There's no need to set up a deep fryer to make great potato chips—the oven is just fine. Part of the charm of homemade oven-baked potato chips is that they're a little thicker and have more of a bite than chips from a bag. And best of all, you can serve them warm! Here's an opportunity for the yin-yang thing: warm potato chip with crème fraîche, a small slice of smoked salmon, smoked trout, or a bit of caviar, and a shot of very chilled vodka. Instant celebration.
