raw potato crisps

The first time I tried to make raw potato crisps, it didn't turn out too good.

We still ate them, but let's just say - it wasn't the most appealing snack to nibble on.

I'm not a fan of junk food.

There's something about greasy packet foods that doesn't sit too well with me.

But just because I don't like it, doesn't mean that Joel wouldn't devour a packet of chips if given half the chance.

So I had to work on perfecting this recipe.

Second time around turned out a zillion times better.

Let me share.

Ingredients

1 sweet potato

2 large red potatoes

1 tblsp quality olive oil

salt

Slice the potatoes super thin - I used the the slicing attachment on the food processor.

Rinse the sliced potatoes thoroughly until the water that comes off them is clear and fresh.

(This is where I went wrong last time, I didn't rinse the slices - talk about starchy!)

Combine in a large bowl and add oil and a pinch or 2 of salt.

(Also went wrong here, added too much salt - salty and starchy, eek!)

Toss thoroughly.

Place potato slices on dehydrator trays and dehydrate on the fruit and veg setting for 12-18* hours.

Check at intervals rotating trays as required.

Store in an airtight container.

*Times can vary, just check and stop when you feel the crisps are crispy enough.
