Homemade baked potato crisps are easy to bake and healthier than the popular brands you find conveniently ready for consumption. If you have a couple of potatoes (any kind will do) around the house, a little oil, and an oven you're set to make these tasty crisps.
Gregory and I are watching the United States presidential election as the votes are being polled state by state. I decided to make a batch of these baked potato crisps as the updates roll in. We're waiting in anticipation, and a little merlot, for who will run our country for the next four years (I hope it's Barack). Earlier, we went to our local library to vote and then celebrated with some fresh bagels from Wegman's (simple delight).
To make these baked potato crisps, first preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice a handful of potatoes (I used four smaller ones) in 1/8 slices or thinner if desired. Spray a cookie sheet with a little extra virgin olive oil spray and spread potato slices so they are not overlapping. I coated all these slices with a little extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl with a basting brush, but you could also spray the slices with oil as well. Top with your choice of spices: creole cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, dill;etc. I chose to use some fresh cracked pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, flip slices, then bake for another 10 minutes (or until they're golden brown/brownish). Plop freshly baked potato crisps unto a paper towel lined plate and blot excess oil. Accompany with dipping sauce of your choice. I suggest a side of ranch dressing.
We'll see what the final presidential votes are tomorrow. There's usually some voting machine fiasco...
...in the meantime enjoy!
Happy cooking!
