Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/16 inch thickness for even cooking.
Soak the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crisp texture.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, grated sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to form a thick paste-like mixture.
Gently coat each potato slice with the cheese mixture, ensuring an even layer on both sides.
Brush your dehydrator trays lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Lay the coated potato slices in a single layer on the trays, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C) and let the potato slices dehydrate for 4–5 hours, or until they are completely crisp and dry. Check them periodically for even cooking.
Once done, allow the chips to cool completely. This will enhance their crispness.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
