Quite easy to make if you have a mandolin...slice potatoes really thinly....then cook in hot oil and season with salt...you can fry sweet potato etc as well..

A mandolin is a lethal contraption that you use to slice potatoes and your fingers very thinly....you could probably use those season all things you get in the jar to make chilli ones or you can just go to the shop and buy some lol

A mandolin on its thinnest setting is ideal,you could use a potato peeler but they wouldn't look very crisp shaped. Mix whatever seasoning with the salt to flavour

Yes you can use a potato peeler I have it works very well. You can also use parsnip, carrot, beetroot as well as potato. Medium heat in the oven on a baking tray check after about 10 minutes if still not crispy leave a little longer but keep checking. Homemade delicious.

I made beetroot crisps once in the oven... All I remember is having very pink hands and it being a lot of effort!
