    Title: Potato Chips
    Categories: Five, Appetisers, Potatoes
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 tb Oil
    1 lg Potato; sliced paper thin
    - (peel optional)
    1/2 ts Salt

    Pour the oil into a plastic bag (a produce bag works
    well). Add the potato slices, and shake to coat.

    Coat a large dinner plate lightly with oil or cooking
    spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the
    dish.

    Cook in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly
    browned (if not browned, they will not become crisp).
    Times will vary depending on the power of your microwave.
    Remove chips from plate, and toss with salt (or other
    seasonings). Let cool. Repeat process with the remaining
    potato slices. You will not need to keep oiling the plate.

    Title: Bacon Dip w/Homemade Potato Chips
    Categories: Pork, Potatoes, Cheese, Vegetables, Chilies
    Yield: 12 servings

    MMMMM-------------------------BACON DIP------------------------------
    6 oz Cream cheese; room temp
    3/4 c Sour cream
    1/4 c Mayonnaise
    1 c Shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Onion powder
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    16 oz Bacon
    10 oz Can Ro*Tel diced tomatoes
    - w/chilies; drained
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    Chopped green onions;
    - garnish

    MMMMM-------------------HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS------------------------
    16 oz Russet potatoes; rinsed,
    - scrubbed
    1/2 c White vinegar
    Oil for frying
    1 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper

    FOR THE BACON DIP: Using a large mixing bowl, add cream
    cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, garlic
    powder, onion powder, salt and pepper; stir until well
    combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until
    chilled.
    Meanwhile, cook bacon according to package instructions.

    Crumble bacon into bowl with the dip and add diced
    tomatoes and chilies; stir until well combined.

    Serve with tortilla chips, chopped veggies or homemade
    potato chips.

    FOR THE HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS: Using a mandolin, slice
    potatoes into 1/8" thick slices; place potatoes in a
    large bowl.

    Cover potatoes with cold water and stir gently; drain
    water. Rinse potatoes until water runs clear.

    Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add vinegar and enough
    cold water to cover. Let stand at room temperature for 1
    hour.

    Using a heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer, add 2-3" of
    oil. Heat over medium heat until temperature reaches
    300ºF/150ºC. (If using a pot, a candy thermometer is the
    best way to monitor the temperature of the oil.)

    Drain potatoes and transfer to a paper-towel lined
    baking tray. Pat potatoes dry with additional paper
    towels.

    Working in batches, fry potatoes for 6-8 minutes,
    flipping occasionally, or until crispy. (Note: Avoid the
    temptation of putting too many potatoes in the pot at a
    time. Overcrowding the pot will make the chips take
    longer to fry, and they will taste greasier.)

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer chips to a paper-towel
    lined baking tray. Sprinkle the batch of chips with a
    portion of the salt and pepper. Repeat process, allowing
    oil temperature to return to 300ºF/150ºC after each batch.
