Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C)
Wash and scrub potatoes well.
Cut potatoes in ¼ inch lengthwise slices then in long slices (Do not peel as the skin makes them more crispy and adds flavor and nutrients)
Submerse potatoes into cold water and rinse about 3 times until water runs clear. (If you plan on cooking potatoes later then keep in cold water and put into fridge until ready to bake) This step keeps the potatoes from turning brown due to oxidation.
Drain and dry potatoes very well in towel
In large bowl add potatoes, olive oil and salt and toss to coat.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to reduce mess and clean up time and place potatoes in a single layer on baking sheet.
Place baking sheet of potatoes into oven and cook for about 60 minutes or until golden brown. (Toss potatoes gently every 10-15 minutes so it browns evenly.)
