Homemade Potato Chips
When the crunchy munchies strike you're pretty doomed.  You can give in to this temptation if you just make your own.  It's really tempting to buy a bag of 'fat free' chips but keep in mind that even some of the baked or fat free chips you'll find in the grocery store are loaded with sugar or other bad oils and chemicals.  Olestra? No, thanks.  Does it gives you a belly ache too?

Our Ingredients:
Potatoes (sweet, purple, white, any kind that you like)
Sea Salt *

Supplies:
Potato peeler or Mandoline slicer (if you have one)
Non-stick baking sheet (I like to use stoneware because of it's natural nonstick surface and the heat distribution - no flipping required)

Our Instructions: 
It's really simple actually and we choose not to add oils.  We suggest you get your daily dose of healthy fat intake elsewhere during your day.  Wash and peel your potatoes (if you prefer you can leave the skins on).  Cut the potato in half lenghwise and use the flat side as your starting point to make chips.  Using the potato peeler (or mandoline slicer) start peeling on the flat side and watch your potato peel into perfect little chips-to-be.   Lay the chips flat on your baking sheet, sprinkle with a bit of sea salt.  Pop them into the oven on broil for 15 minutes or until the chips are crispy.   

* Once you get the hang of making your own chips, you can make all sorts of flavors.  Some ideas are: salt & black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, how about cinnamon on your sweet potato for dessert?  Yum.

This might be a bit time consuming but you'll love them.
