Ken,

You certainly can make them at home. The underlying problem is volume. It's
pretty time consuming to make what amounts to a $1.00 bag of chips.

If you can shave them paper thin with a mandolin (rhymed!) and bake them on
a cookie sheet with parchment and lightly spray them with a neutral flavor
oil, you'd probably get good results, albeit, small yield.

The mandolin I have lets me make waffle cut potato chips. Slice, rotate
90°, slice, rotate 90°, you know the drill? That was fun maybe twice!

Ruffles (ridges) potato chips can surely be a homemade challenge.

Best,

Andy
