POTATO CHIPS, REIMAGINED

I spent a long time thinking about what to call this dish - potato chips, potato wedges or maybe just fried potatoes? None of these names fully captured the essence of the dish. These fried potatoes are different from what we're used to; they resemble chips but have a much denser and more authentic flavor than store-bought potato chips. In any case, they make a fantastic dish for both parties and everyday meals alongside salads, Buddha bowls or soup. They’re loved by both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• Small fresh potatoes (if you can't find these, regular ones will work too)

• Spices - salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, dried garlic and onion

Instructions

I wash the potatoes thoroughly and steam them until they're cooked.

While they're still warm, I place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I press each potato down with the bottom of a glass to flatten them into a shape similar to a chip.

I sprinkle each potato with spices and place them in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 45 minutes or until they are golden brown.

I serve them with guacamole (mashed avocado with spices and chopped red onion) or another favorite dipping sauce (cheddar sauce, BBQ sauce, white tofu sauce or white cashew sauce work perfectly).

BON APPETIT!
