    Try baking them on a rack so there can be no moisture build up around fries. Also use the convection setting on your oven if it has one. I would also try doing them like regular fried fries and try a 2 step cooking process by par cooking first(325°F) then cooking under high temp(475°F).

    Yep - you need to get moisture out of the chips at a lower temperature first, where they won't burn easily, then crank it up and get the exterior crispy/crunchy.

    Still easiest with thin chips, but it works with ones that are a bit thicker, too, though they'll be more crunchy than crispy, IYKWIM.

    I saw someone already gave out this idea but I think it's right. Parchment paper might just be the trick. It's made my potatoes wedges turn out great and not needed to use much oil.
