Instead of grabbing for that bag of store bought potato chips, try making your own in your microwave. Add my caramelized onion yogurt dip and you will have a delicious snack! Makes sure you have parchment paper, paper towels, and a mandoline or other slicing tool to uniformly thin slice the potatoes.
Caramelized Onion Yogurt Dip
1 large Vidalia onion
2 T olive oil
1/2 t sugar
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 T water
cup of Greek plain yogurt
1. Cut onion into quarters. Slice quarters.
2. Heat olive oil in a small saute pan on medium high. Add onions and saute on medium-high for a 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
3. Add sugar and slowly heat onions on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally as onions soften and brown.
4. Turn up to medium for last 5 minutes. Add 2 T water to hot pan to deglaze. Cook until water is gone and onions are a soft medium brown. Repeat if needed until onions are soft and brown.
5. Chop caramelized onions and stir into Greek yogurt. Add garlic salt. Chill to firm and serve at room temperature.
Homemade Potato Chips
2 russet baking potatoes
salt
optional: olive oil in a spray mister
1. Scrub potatoes and leave skin on. Thinly slice potato chips with a mandoline. Place on paper towels, top and bottom, press to absorb water from potato slices.
2. Line a microwave plate with parchment paper. Place a single layer of potato slices on paper. Optional: lightly mist with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt.
3. Microwave on high for 2 or 3 minutes, depending on your microwave. Take out and check for lightly browned chips. Once they are lightly browned, turn them over and microwave for 1-2 minutes (again, depends on your microwave). They are done if they are crispy and will be lightly browned. The first batch is the test batch. Once you know how much time they need in your microwave, you can repeat those times.
4. Remove chips (they should be light and crispy) and repeat (use the same parchment paper) with a new batch. Add more salt if desired.
Makes enough chips for 4-5 servings
