| Potato Chips ~ Homemade Potato Chips & Homemade Sweet Potato Chips Potato Chips ~ source: Go Inside™ These are, of course, low-fat Use one potato for each person 1 peeled or un-peeled baking potato (weighing about 1/2 pound) 2 tbsp fat-free Italian Dressing (bottled) salt if desired Directions: 1. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray OR use a very light coating of cooking oil. 2. Slice the potato crosswise into very thin slices. Put the slices in a bowl, add the dressing, and toss the slices around until evenly coated. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the pre-greased cookie sheet. 3. Bake about 10 minutes on one side, turn each slice over and bake about 10 minutes more. Potato chips should be lightly browned on both sides. Watch carefully, removing slices as they brown and placing them on a large sheet of aluminum foil to cool. If you want salt, it's best to add it immediately after removing the potato chips from the oven. Servings: 35-45 slices Sweet Potato Chips 4 (about 3 pounds) sweet potatoes or yams, peeled vegetable shortening for deep frying coarse salt to taste With a sharp knife cut the potatoes into 1/16 inch slices and pat them dry with paper towels. In a deep fryer heat enough shortening to measure 2 inches to 380 F and fry the potato slices in batches, turning them, until they are golden brown. Transfer the chips with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle them with the salt. Makes about 16 cups |
