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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/16 inch thickness for even cooking.
Step 2
Soak the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crisp texture.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Gently coat each potato slice with the cheese mixture, ensuring an even layer on both sides.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once done, allow the chips to cool completely. This will enhance their crispness.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
