Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons whey protein powder (unflavored)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to ensure even coating.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
While the chips are baking, combine the whey protein powder with Greek yogurt in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
Once the chips are ready, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over them and return the tray to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with fresh chives and serve with the high-protein Greek yogurt dip on the side.
