You may find this option strange as chips are generally believed to be containing a lot of calories and fat. But here we are talking about home-made chips which could be healthy for us in comparison to those packaged chips we buy from the market.
Ingredients:
Chips
Dip
Method of Preparation
Preheat the oven at 400°F. Take 2 rimmed baking sheets and sprinkle some nonstick cooking spray over it. Cut the potatoes into thin round pieces of about 1/16-inch each with the help of a sharp knife. Put these potato pieces in a sieve and wash them thoroughly with cold water. Remove from water and dry them completely by spreading them on paper or kitchen towel and cover with another paper towel. In a large-sized bowl, mix paprika, oil, and salt. Add potatoes and mix well such that all the potatoes are uniformly coated. Spread these coated potatoes onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure that you spread them in a single layer. Place in the oven to cook for some 15 to 20 minutes or until the chips looks crispy and brown in color. When the chips are completely cooked, you can store them in a paper bag for up to 3 days.
To prepare the dip:
Take a nonstick skillet, add oil and cook over medium heat. Now add the white parts of the scallions and onion. With frequent stirring, cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions and scallions become tender and golden-brown in color. Allow them to cool at normal temperature. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the yogurt, scallion greens, cooled onion mixture, onion powder, garlic powder, mayonnaise, pepper, and salt. Cover the bowl with a lid and place it in the fridge for at least an hour. Serve with the potato chips and enjoy its yummy taste!
