Рецепт Fat Free Potato Chips #BetterWithReds
It is the middle of January, and I am sure some people have already thrown in the towel with their healthy eating resolutions. This week I am working with a great group of bloggers, to bring you some healthy potato recipes to keep you on track. We all know that fruits and vegetables are part of a healthy diet. That includes red potatoes, which are naturally fat free and a good source of fiber. Plus, look at all the fun and yummy things you can do with red potatoes – like fat free potato chips!
Today we are teaming up with Black Gold Farm to bring you this #BetterWithReds project. Black Gold Farm is a family owned farm for more than 80 years, located in North Dakota. Black Gold grows their red potatoes in 11 different states. They are now an industry leader that ships more than 500 million pounds of potatoes each year. Some of those get made into potato chips, and some end up in a bag at the grocery store for you to turn into anything your tummy desires.
Potato chips are a staple for a lot of people. It is pretty much a crime to have a sandwich without chips, in my opinion at least. They just go together! But when you are trying to eat healthier, a bag of potato chips isn’t always the best thing to have on your shopping list. Buying whole red potatoes, and making these fat free potato chips is a much better idea! They are super simple too. I honestly had my doubts, but they are darn good!
I have wanted to make these for years! I can’t even remember where I first saw them. I just know they have been in the back of my head forever. All you have to do is thinly slice red potatoes (skin off or on, it is up to you), and microwave them. You can toss them in a tiny bit of olive oil if you want, but not necessary if you line a plate with parchment paper first. I went simple and just seasoned with salt. But you could play with all kinds of flavors here, the possibilities are really endless. I don’t have a mandolin, so I used the side of my box grater, and it worked perfectly.
We are hosting a Twitter Party this week too, I hope you will join us! Wednesday the 22nd at 8pm EST search for #HeathyChoices. It should be a lot of fun, and you should get lots of new ideas for how to enjoy your red potatoes. There is an awesome GIVEAWAY too! I really wish that I could win this one.
