Baked Cheesy Garlic Potato Chips

Pringles, Cheez-its, Cheetos, Doritos... they all have that amazing crunch we can't exist. If you're like me, you'll go to the limits to add some crunch to your life.

I have a soft spot for chips, luckily my husband does not so it prevents me from buying every single 2/$5 chip deal in the market. I love crunch so much I even purposefully burn my toast, bagels and yes, even waffles. 

These are a perfect snack or side dish for that person who loves crunch, but wants to be somewhat healthy. (And by healthy, I use that term loosely). These Cheesy Garlic Potato Chips are *baked* not fried, but still provide that great CRUNCH! Enjoy!

Baked Cheesy Garlic Potato Chips

(serves 4)

INGREDIENTS:

4 medium Red Potatoes

sea salt for seasoning

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoon olive oil

3/4 cup low-fat cheddar-jack cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Combine the olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl. Let it set for 30 minutes, so the oil absorbs the flavor of the garlic.

3. Slice the potatoes as thin as possible with a mandolin or very sharp knife.

4. Put the potato slices and olive oil mixture in a large Ziploc bake and toss to coat the potato slices evenly.

5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Spread out potato slices onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle sea salt over potatoes.

6. Bake for 15-20 minutes till potatoes start turning golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 3/4 cup low-fat cheese. Bake for another 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Remove from oven, and let them cool slightly before eating.
