Out of the Box Food^SM Oven Baked Olive Oil Potato Chips

Serves: 4

Cost per person: $.50 per person

Special Equipment: Mandolin or sharp knife, baking sheet(s), parchment paper

Ingredients:

• 4 medium organic potatoes ($1.16)
• 1/4 C Extra Virgin Olive Oil ($.80)
• Sea Salt ($.05)

Directions:

• Preheat oven (with baking sheet(s)) to 400 degrees
• Thinly slice potatoes into rounds (I used a mandolin here to create thin, even slices).
• In a large bowl, toss sliced potatoes with olive oil.
• Remove hot baking sheet(s) from oven and line with parchment paper.
• Lay potato slices onto parchment in single layer.
• Place baking sheet(s) back in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet(s) from oven and flip potato slices.  (if using two baking sheets rotate their position in the oven so that they each get equal time on top rack)
• Return to oven and bake another 20 minutes.
• Remove sheets again, flip potatoes over and return to oven.
• Bake chips an additional 5-15 minutes or until evenly browned.

*Potatoes may need to be removed to a paper towel lined bowl individually as they brown.  All ovens are different and some potatoes may brown more quickly than others.
