If you’re honest with yourself, I think you’ll agree with me that there
are some days when you want a salty snack, something crisp and crunchy and
perfect for scooping up a generous portion of your favorite dip. That’s how I felt today. I had a can of mixed nuts on hand, but I wanted
something with lots of flavor and serious crunch. Face it, I wanted potato chips! I’m not a fan of anything deep fried, so
figured that I could probably make my own, healthier version of chips with a
lot more flavor. I did. It took only three ingredients, about 5 minutes
active time, and around a half an hour baking (so plan your cravings ahead). It was purely experimental and I really didn’t
expect them to be as good as they turned out to be. I’ll never buy a potato chip again!
Homemade Potato Chips with Garlic & Herbs
Extra virgin olive oil for
brushing
1 medium russet potato,
peeled
Generous grating of Melissa’s Garlic & Herbs with Sea Salt
Preheat the oven
to 375 degrees F. Cover 2 large baking
sheets with Silpats or parchment paper. Using a mandoline or hand-held slicer, slice the
potatoes lengthwise as thinly as possible (My slices were between 1/8” and 1/16”). Arrange
in a flat layer (do NOT overlap!) on the baking sheets. Brush lightly with
oil and bake until golden throughout, 25 to 27 minutes. Watch them! Start checking their progress at about 20
minutes, and turn the cookie sheet for even browning. When baked to desired doneness, transfer to
paper towels and sprinkle with herb and salt blend.

Love potato chips but never made them with garlic and herbs. There are being featured on Sunday's Best!
They look delicious. I now have a serious craving for them and it's only 9:30am! Must be patient...
