My husband loves the fresh fried chips at restaurants. He’ll take those over fries everyday – but in an attempt to keep our eating out budget under wraps I’ve taken to remaking his restaurant favorites at home. And in an attempt to keeping our waistlines in check I’m trying to make them a bit healthier.
That means baking instead of frying. These chips turned out SO delicious and were SO easy I had to share it!
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes
Olive oil or spray non-stick spray (whichever you prefer)
Salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 and get a cookie sheet.
- Use a Mandoline Slicer to slice potatoes thin and even.
- Spray pan with non-stick spray or brush cookie sheet with Olive Oil.
- Place potato slices on pan and brush tops (or spray) with oil.
- Sprinkle with salt as desired.
- Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Check and bake longer as needed until chips are beginning to brown and crisp.
- Do not over bake.
- Serve with dipping sauces of choice.
I recently had a question about how my family eats real meals since my shopping trips are pretty irregular. One week I may buy a lot of cheese and the next week might be a lot of rice. It doesn’t seem that what is a good deal can be pulled together to make an actual family meal. That’s because we are loading our pantries (and freezers) every week with the best deals. Then we make meals out of what we already have. In fact, most of what I buy this week- won’t be used at all this week! Here are a few examples of meals my family had recently: Chicken Enchiladas
to make them nice and even instead of making them by hand.
Once it reaches the thickness and size you want place it on the preheated pan for about 30 seconds each side. They cook quickly!
