Homemade Potato Chips

Mmmmm, homemade potatoe chips. No, I couldn't have just one either. These were so good and so easy to make with my Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Pro Mandoline V-4000, 7-Piece Set. SUPER thin just like those you buy, too.

I fried these up in a cast iron skillet with about 1/2 to 3/4" deep oil in it. I've also made them in the microwave which, of course, are less fattening. But, hey, sometimes ya gotta let it go, ya know?

To do so in the microwave, simply:

• Spray the entire surface of a microwave-safe plate with your favorite cooking spray.
• Lay a single layer of the paper-thin potato slices on the plate.
• Spray the potato slices.
• Microwave on high 3-4 minutes watching carefully for them to begin browning. Once they begin browning remove from the microwave, sprinkle your favorite seasoning on them, and allow to cool.

I haven't tried oven baking them yet, but all that would entail would be spraying and laying them out on a baking sheet and baking in a 350° oven.

Now  I just wish I had a V-Wave Waffle Slicer for making ripple potato chips to go with French Onion Dip from Scratch.

Slice It, Dice It, Julienne It

*UPDATE* My V-Slicer Pro finally made it here this afternoon and, needless to say, I had to play with it right away. LOVE it! I sliced and diced onions, potatoes, and apples. Fried some of the taters and onions, baked cinnamon apple slices, and, best of all....I made potato chips in the microwave. They were VERY good, too. Instead of sprinkling salt on them, I sprinkled Tony Cachere's Creole Seasoning on them. MMmmmm GOOD! The V-Slicer did an excellent job of slicing them paper thin, too.

OMGosh! So excited! Can't wait for the UPS truck to pull up tomorrow so I can begin to slice and dice every fruit and veggie I can get my hands on! My new Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Pro Mandoline V-4000, 7-Piece Set will FINALLY be here!

Kind of reminds you of Tim the Toolman, huh? Arrgghh, arrgghh, aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh!

I ordered the mandoline because I've grown tired of spending so much time slicing and dicing now that I'm doing a lot more cooking. It's the economy, ya know? But time is also valuable. I mean, reeeaaaaaLY, you can't expect a full-time RVer to want to spend all her time in the kitchen, can you? The essence of RVing is simplifying life after all.

Ok, I'm headed off to bed to count fruit and veggie slices. I'll share the results of my first test runs as soon as I get a chance to play with my new toy. In the meantime, check out this video showing the fun you can have slicing and dicing your way to creative dishes with the Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Pro Mandoline V-4000, 7-Piece Set.
