Is it possible to make healthy chips without frying using a food dehydrator? Turns out, yes. You will need potatoes, boiling water, lemon juice, vegetable fat, salt, spices to taste.
Here's how to make chips in a food dehydrator.
- Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut with a knife, potato peeler or other device into slices up to 1.5 mm thick;
- This is optional, but you can soak the potato slices in water for a few hours or even overnight to remove excess starch;
- Pour the potatoes with boiling water with lemon juice (about 1 tbsp. per liter of water) and leave them for at least 30 minutes;
- Strain the water, dry the potatoes with paper towels;
- Mix the dried potatoes with a little olive oil and salt to distribute everything evenly. You can instead arrange the potatoes on parchment paper, drizzle with oil and salt on top (not convenient for larger quantities).
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on sheets of parchment paper and put them in the dehydrator for 10 hours at a temperature of 71°C.
The finished potato chips turn out to be very interesting - thin, translucent, crispy. It is completely different from classic chips, but no less tasty than it.
This beer appetizer is really delicious! It will be interesting to try something similar with other vegetables, like beetroot chips or sweet potato chips.
