My love for potatoes is strong. I could seriously eat them everyday, preferably piping hot and covered with melty cheese and bacon. But I won’t turn my nose up at a tasty potato dish or snack. That definitely includes a bowl of potato chips. I’ve even been known to have chip sandwiches. Just trust me on this one, they’re totally wrong but completely delicious.

I never put much thought into making potato chips at home, mostly because I didn’t want to fry them. Normally I’m totally okay with frying just about anything but when it came to chips, I wanted them baked with flavor. They don’t turn out as greasy and you can flavor them as you please, where as with frying that might prove a bit more difficult.

Last minute I decided to make two flavors. I was eager to try the paprika flavored chips but was dying to have something coated with garlic and cheese too. Again with the cheese, it’s kind of a must when it comes to potatoes. I can’t help it. Both flavors were good but my favorite of the two was definitely the garlic chips. They had a special extra something that the paprika chips didn’t have.

These are best enjoyed immediately but could potentially be stored in an airtight container and even reheated for further crispness.
