Welcome to a fun and festive recipe for Jack-o'-lantern potato chips! Perfect for Halloween, these crispy chips are not only eye-catching but also delicious. Made with both regular and sweet potatoes, they're a healthier alternative to store-bought chips. Let's dive into this simple yet creative recipe.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them with a bit of olive oil.
2. Slice the Potatoes:
- Peel and wash both the potatoes and sweet potatoes.
- Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes and sweet potatoes into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Using a small, sharp paring knife or a small cookie cutter, carefully cut out jack-o'-lantern faces in the center of each potato slice. Be creative with the faces!
- Place the potato and sweet potato slices into a large bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the slices.
- Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the slices.
- Toss the slices gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Lay the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure even baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chips, as baking times can vary depending on the thickness of the slices.
- The chips are done when they are golden brown and crispy. If needed, remove any chips that are done earlier and let the rest bake for a few more minutes.
- Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cooled chips to a serving bowl or platter.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer to get uniformly thin slices of potatoes for even cooking.
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for about 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch and achieve a crispier texture.
- Make sure to dry the slices thoroughly with a kitchen towel before tossing them in oil and spice mix.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking. Avoid overlapping.
- Experiment with different spice mixes to suit your taste. Paprika, garlic powder, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a unique flavor.
There you have it – Jack-o'-lantern potato chips that are both fun to create and delightful to eat! Whether you're making them for a Halloween party or a fun snack at home, these chips are sure to be a hit. Enjoy your culinary creation and have a spook-tacular time!
