Heart Healthy Cooking with Canola Oil: How Does Your Oil Compare?

6 per bag? Last I checked, potatoes were dirt cheap! Homemade potato chips are dead easy to make, and can be seasoned however you see fit. Because they are baked with canola oil, the fat you get is the healthy kind.

3 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled OR 1 large sweet potato, unpeeled

1-2 Tbsp. canola oil

1 clove garlic, crushed, or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 450

F.

Scrub potato and slice lengthwise or width-wise into very thin, uniform slices. A mandolin does the best job.

1/2 tbsp. of oil and place in the oven to heat for about 10 minutes.

20 minutes. Turn potatoes over and bake until they are golden brown all over, about 15-20 minutes more.

Transfer to paper towels to cool. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Serves 4.
