Buttery Garlic Parmesan Potato Chips

Ingredients:


  • 1 13 oz bag of  Salted Kettle Chips (the party size)
  • 1 stick melted butter  
  • 1 1/2 t garlic powder  
  • 3/4 t coarse salt  
  • 1/4 t red chili flakes  
  • 2 heaping Tablespoons of parmesan from the can 
  • Fresh parmesan to throw on top

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Melt the butter. Add the seasonings and cheese.
Stir. Open bag of chips.
Pour in butter mixture.
Toss  gently but well, while holding bag shut. Pour out onto a parchment lined large baking sheet. 
Sprinkle with additional garlic powder and additional grated parmesan cheese of you'd like. Bake on the lowest rack in oven for about 20 minutes until these are golden and crispy and delectable! And don't say I didn't warn you!


Rustic Baked Potato Chips

Ingredients
  • 2 medium potatoes, I used gold, organic from Sprout's ($2.99 for a big bag)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • himalayan salt, to taste...go easy as they can get too salty

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper, a rack would be great too and you would need less cooking time. That's next on my list !
  3. Using a sharp knife, food processor attachment or mandolin, thinly slice the potatoes. 
  4. Toss with oil and salt in medium size bowl. Or you can go to step five and lightly coat each side with oil while on the cookie sheet using a silicon brush. One less thing to wash this way, which was my way. 
  5. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet. 
  6. Bake for 10-17 minutes, turning after 10 min. Remove any that seem ready or about to burn completely. 
  7. Once baked, remove from oven and let cool for 2 - 5 min.  Makes two servings.
