Servings:
2-4Salt and vinegar potato chips. A variation on Rawkidchef's "potato cakes" recipe. You could also try this with sweet potato. I am interested to try it with yuca but don't know how well that would work with the spiral slicer... Makes a great crunchy, salty snack.
Ingredients:
4-6 small potatoes, rinsed
apple cider vinegar
1-2 tablespoos olive oil
salt to
taste
Preparation:
Using a spiral vegetable slicer with the flat blade, slice potatoes into very thin slices (they look more like potato rings). Make sure to cut a slit halfway through the potato first so the slices aren't
attached.
Soak potatoes in apple cider vinegar (or other raw vinegar) overnight (about 12 hours) to begin breaking down the starch. If you skip this step the chips will have a chalky texture.
Drain and rinse potatoes (save vinegar for another batch!) and toss with the olive oil. Spread
flat on dehydrator sheets and dry for at least 12 hours (until crispy.)
Sprinkle with salt. (The salt could be added before the dehydrating but I found it was easier to gauge how much I wanted after they were dry.)
Eat!

What temperature did you use to dehydrate them for 12 hours and did you turn them over at any point?

I don't know how many times you can use the vinegar over... I've been keeping it in the fridge after I use it for chips, though. I think I've used mine at least four times already.
6. Thanks for this recipe. I so
Thanks for this recipe. I so crave carbs and am tired of eating fruit and nuts for a snack. I love using the spiral vegetable slicer to make these. Makes it so much easier. I sprinkled nutritional yeast on these and they tasted great. How long do you think you can keep reusing the vinegar?
