Crispy, crunchy potato chips that are baked not fried…
Potato chips have been one of my biggest weaknesses, I can munch on it non-stop till my jaws get stiff. Every time I go for grocery shopping, one bag of potato chips always tags along with me. It’s high time I cut down on fried potato chips, hence I tried baking potato chips at home. I thought it’s going to be a disaster, but to my surprise it turned out to be crispy, crunchy and perfect.
The trick for making perfectly baked potato chips is by first cooking the potatoes slightly in boiling water, pat dry it and bake it in the oven till it turns crispy and golden in color.
