Much to the regret of my waistline...and hips....and thighs....and, well every part of me, I LOVE potato chips. Lots of different flavours, although I have to admit top of the list is a toss up between plain salted or salt and vinegar most of the time. What I don't like about them, apart from the calories that is, is the price of them. It wouldn't be so bad if the bags were full when you opened them, but more often than not you open that puffed bag and peer inside to a half empty cavern!!
At least by making them yourself you don't feel like you're being cheated by buying air!!!
These are just a basic salted chip, but of course sprinkle over whatever flavouring you want from dried herbs or spices to even grated parmesan cheese - let your imagination go wild :o)
Potato Chips
makes as many as you want
Canola cooking spray
potatoes, unpeeled (preferably something like yukon gold)
salt
- preheat the oven to 375 F.
- for easy clean-up, line a couple of baking sheets with foil.
- spray each one lightly with cooking spray and using a piece of kitchen towel spread the oil evenly across the sheets, soaking up any excess.
- slice the potatoes to about 1/8 inch (either with a knife or if you have one, a mandolin), and place on the baking sheets in a single layer.
- spray lightly with a little more cooking spray and 'dab' with some kitchen towel to remove excess.
- bake for 20-30 minutes until browned and crispy - check at 20 minutes and remove any that have browned up quickly so they don't burn.
- gently place the hot potato chips on some kitchen towel and sprinkle with the salt while still warm.
