Herb Silhouette Potato Chips

Potatoes what an amazing food. When you're homesick what do you think of mashed potatoes? When you order a burger what do you order to go with it French fried potatoes. Finally when you go out for a hearty juicy steak what comes along side, a baked potato.

Herb silhouette potato chips are a grown up version of the traditional potato chip. These paper thin potato chips are an attractive gourmet way to serve potatoes. You will be able to see a silhouette of your favorite herb inside each potato chip.

Potatoes, one per person

Fresh herbs of choice

Peel and slice very thin the potatoes. (Yukon Gold is always a good choice of potato.) Grease a baking sheet and lay a single layer of chips on the cookie sheet. Lay one sprig of herb on each chip and lay a second chip on top of the herb. Press down to flatten the herb.

Generously spray a sheet of parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray. Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and lay a second cookie sheet on top. This will way down the chips.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or cool the potatoes on paper towels.
