HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS RECIPE
Hello Monday! Hi there, internet buddies! Welcome to another installment of food you can get at the grocery store, but why do that when you can also make it at home! Because I obviously have an obsession with doing just that. Hamburger Helper yesterday, Potato Chips today. Holla!
Who out there follows a Meatless Monday routine? Anyone? I try, but often forget. However, in trying to meet those Meatless Monday standards, last week I arrived at these potato chips and I couldn’t be any more satisfied.
I know. I know that Meatless Mondays are about the main meal, but work with me, here. (I had a salmon burger on the side. shhhhh! It was SO GOOD! )
The thing about baked potato chips is that they are a) adorable, b) delicious, and c) healthier, because they’re like chips, but aren’t fried.
I made these three different times because I’m pretty sure we all want the same thing; a perfect crunchy texture.
The first time, they were crispy. Like, CRISSSSSSPY. Could’ve been just my oven, but it could also have been me, the one that left them in there for 40 minutes… The second time, they were too soft, but the third time, they were looking crunchy and crispy and just about right.
That’s them, right there. Thin + Crunchy.
Here’s the dealio, though. To get potato chips as perfectly as you want them, you MIGHT have to get to know your oven a bit better. I mean, if these chips aren’t crunchy enough by the 25th minute, leave them in there… they will get to their destination. Just keep on checking every, like, 15 seconds.
Also? IF you like a bit more heat, add more pepper. If you like a bit more cumin, add more cumin. If you want less, add less. Get my drift? Good.
Thank you.
I ♥ You!
ENJOY!
