Game Time Decision Chips
A few weeks ago I had over-purchased on potatoes for a recipe I was working on and was left with 1 potato remaining. Since it was Sunday and my husband was watching the NFL playoffs, I decided to put that potato to use and make some homemade chips.
I generally don’t cook with salt, so wanted to give my chips flavor from other sources. I quickly took inventory of my spice cabinet and went with an herb flavor for my chips. This particular batch has ground rosemary sprinkled on top. I added a chipotle ketchup on the side for some added zing. They even took my husband’s attention away from the playoffs for a few moments to enjoy them!
The beauty of these chips is you can make them your own with whatever spice/flavoring you want. Put that salt shaker down and get creative! These are great to enjoy on their own, or step up and add a low cal/low fat dipping sauce on the side.
These chips are low in fat and sodium while bursting with vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Crunch into a batch today and impress your guests by serving them at your next party!
