Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Potatoes
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Oven
• Timer

1. Slice some potatoes into thin pieces. You can use red, russet, or Yukon gold potatoes.

2. Rinse off the potato slices to remove any excess starch. This will reduce the overall number of calories and make these potato chips healthier.

3. Lay out the potato slices on a baking pan or even a pizza stone. No spacing is needed between the potato slices.

4. Sprinkle or paint olive oil on the potato chips. Olive oil is full of omega 3 fatty acids which improves brain function, decreases the risk for heart disease, and can act as an anti-inflammatory. This is very healthy oil and will give some crunch to your chips.

5. Season your healthy potato chips with a little bit of salt or other seasoning.

6. Bake the potato chips for 30 minutes or until darkened around the edges at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

7. Enjoy your crunchy, yummy, yet healthy potato chips.
