Potatoes are a healthy vegetable that contains vitamins and minerals. And the chips made from it are harmful. Why? Because during industrial production, potatoes lose nutrients and are "enriched" with artificial colors, flavors and flavor enhancers. To enjoy your favorite crisps without harm to your health, cook chips at home.
It is necessary
-
- 600 grams of potatoes;
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
- 1 bunch of dill;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- salt to taste;
- ground black pepper to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes with warm water. Rub each tuber with a brush. Peel the skin. If you use young potatoes and are confident in the environmental friendliness of their cultivation, you can leave the skin, then the chips will acquire a spectacular frame. Rinse the peeled potatoes again, now with cold water. Dry it lightly on a towel.
Step 2
Peel the garlic. Finely chop each clove. Do not use a press: garlic should not turn into mashed potatoes.
Step 3
Rinse the dill with running water. Shake off the water. Cut off the tough part of the twigs. Finely chop half a bunch of dill.
Step 4
Pour vegetable oil into a wide, shallow saucepan. If you want flavorful chips, use unrefined sunflower oil or olive oil. For lovers of a neutral taste, refined sunflower is suitable. Add chopped herbs and garlic to the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Cut the potatoes into thin slices. The thinner the mugs, the crisper the chips will be. Cut conveniently with a sharp knife with a thin wide blade or on a special vegetable cutter. Many models of food processors have a function for slicing chips.
Step 6
Place the chopped potatoes in a saucepan with butter and spices. Close the lid and shake gently so that the circles are evenly saturated with vegetable oil. Remove the lid and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Heat the oven to 200 ° C. Place baking paper on a baking sheet. Cut the edges of the paper so that they do not burn. You do not need to oil it.

Place the potato circles on a baking sheet in one layer. Make sure that the pieces do not overlap. Place a baking sheet with future chips in a hot oven for 20 minutes. Then open the door and check the potatoes. It will brown and the edges of the circles will begin to curl. If you want crisper potatoes, leave the baking sheet in the oven for another 10 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the cooked chips from the oven. Let them cool slightly for 5-7 minutes. Transfer the chips to a nice glass container. Sprinkle with the remaining dill. Serve sour cream separately.
