Easy Homemade Potato Chips Recipe

A potato chip (American English chips, British English crisps) is a thin slice of potato deep fried or baked until crispy depending on the company it originated from. Potato chips serve as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. Commercial varieties are packaged for sale, usually in bags. The simplest chips of this kind are just cooked and salted, but manufacturers can add a wide variety of flavoring (mostly made using herbs, spices, cheese, artificial additives or MSG). Chips are an important part of the snack food market in English-speaking countries and many other Western nations.

Potato Chips

INGREDIENTS
  • 4 russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and sliced diagonally 1/8 inch thick
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) of butter, melted
  • Coarse salt to taste
METHOD

  • Pat the potatoes dry between paper towels and arrange them in one layer in 2 buttered cookie sheets; if you have a non-stick cooking spray, this works fine for greasing the pans. Brush the potatoes with the butter, bake them in a preheated 500°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Sprinkle them with the salt.


Happy National Potato Chip Day!

Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Yukon Gold or Russet Potato*
  • 1/2 Cup of "Sub Oil Dressing" (Oil, Red Wine Vinegar and Italian Seasonings)
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Extra Red Wine Vinegar
METHOD

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a cooking tray with tin foil for easy clean up. Sprinkle a thin layer of sea salt on the tin foil. No need to coat with oil.
  • Wash and peel your potato with a vegetable peeler. Be careful! This is a great way to lose skin on your fingers. Use the vegetable peeler to make very thin slices. Try to keep every slice the same width. 
  • Now take your potato slices and press between paper towels to absorb excess moisture. 
  • Put them in a medium mixing bowl and pour the Sub Oil mixture on them. Add additional red wine vinegar to the mixture, depending on your tastes. Let this mixture sit for 15-20 minutes for the best flavor. The potatoes may start to turn brown, but don't worry - they'll turn brown anyways after they cook!
  • After 20 minutes, cover the baking sheet with a layer of the potato slices. Remember, you don't need to put additional oil on the tray, a thin layer of salt will suffice. Try not to let any of the slices touch, ensuring a thin layer. For every potato that you cook, you'll have to cook two batches. 
  • Now place the tray in your preheated oven and set the timer for 5 minutes. Depending upon the amount of oil used and the potato slice thickness, the cooking time may vary. Therefore, it is crucial that you watch the entire cooking process to ensure your chips don't burn. Once they turn a nice golden brown, they are down cooking! 
  • Carefully remove the tray and put the first batch of chips onto a plate lined with paper towels. Place another layer of paper towels on top to help absorb the grease.
  • Now onto the second batch! Be extra careful this time, your chips will cook faster because of the temperature of the baking tray. Make sure to coat the pan again with another thin layer of sea salt before placing the second batch of potato slices onto it.
  • The trickiest part of this recipe is to wait until your done cooking both batches...I usually eat most of the first batch while waiting for the second to cook. If you have family around, they go super fast!

Iron: Iron deficiency is widespread, especially among children in general, and vegetarians should pay special attention to ensure an adequate intake of iron, because iron tends to be not absorbed by the body and iron from plant-animal. Get whole grains and fortified, and iron-fortified cereals, dark green leafy vegetables and dried fruits.

Vitamin B-12: Vitamin B-12 is naturally found in animal products. For vegetarians, vitamin B-12 be added to the diet through fortified soy milk or nuts, yeast and food and fortified breakfast cereals.

Zinc: Zinc is found in many foods, particularly in connection with foods that are rich in protein. A vegetarian diet often contains less zinc from a diet of meat, so it is for vegetarians to eat plenty of foods rich in this vital mineral are important. Good sources for vegetarians are dairy products, legumes such as beans and lentils, yeast, nuts, seeds and grains. Pumpkin seeds are one of the most concentrated vegetarian food sources of zinc.

Choice to Become Vegetarian

Try to keep in mind that your choice to become vegetarian was a personal one, and it has to be for them, too. You can’t control what your spouse eats – but you can control how you behave towards them.
Here are a few things for you to consider:
• Cherish the issues in your marriage that you agree on. There are probably far more of those than there are issues on which you don’t see eye-to-eye.
• Acknowledge that your spouse’s diet isn’t meant to hurt you. If your partner eats meat, it isn’t a choice designed to make your life unhappy or more complicated. Try to respect their decision, whether it is based on ethical principles, on convenience or on habit.
• Try to get your partner to compromise on certain foods. See if you can get them to eat soy hot dogs, veggie burgers and non-dairy cheese at home.
• Never attack your spouse’s point of view, especially in public. Belittling your partner will only cause them to be resentful and more resistant to vegetarianism.
• Try to find restaurants where you can eat together. Choose venues that offer both meat dishes and vegetarian options, so that you can enjoy a fine meal together. 
• Play an active role in shopping and preparing meals. Cook a variety of tasty, appealing meals so that your partner can see that the diet isn’t boring. Buy a few cookbooks and try new recipes to keep things interesting.
• Be a positive role model. Allow your cheerful attitude and good health serve as an example of how great vegetarianism can be.
• Don’t talk endlessly about your diet. If your partner is interested, the subject will come up naturally – but don’t lecture.
• If you’ve agreed not to eat meat at home, accept that your spouse may eat meat sometimes when they’re not with you. Again, you can’t control what they eat, and nagging doesn’t help.
Eating together is one of the great pleasures of any relationship. Negotiate a menu plan that’s acceptable to both of you, and then enjoy your meals together!
You are likely to encounter people who are less than supportive of your diet choices. Although vegetarians aren’t looked down upon today as much as in the past, there will still be people who think that your new lifestyle is a weird one.

RICE

In many households it seems a difficulty to get rice cooked properly, that is having all the grains separate. Very often it comes to table in a soft, pulpy mass, which is certainly not appetising. To cook it in a large saucepanful of water which is then drained away is very wasteful, for a great deal of the goodness of the rice is thrown away. The following recipe will be found thoroughly reliable and satisfactory.
  • RICE, HOW TO COOK.
1 lb. of good rice, 1 quart of water, 1 oz. of butter, salt to taste. Wash the rice and set it over the fire with 1 quart of cold water, the butter and salt. Let it come to the boil gently, stirring it a little to prevent the rice from sticking to the saucepan. When the rice boils, set it on the side and let it just simmer. It will be sufficiently cooked in 15 to 20 minutes and each grain will be separate. Rice should not be cooked too soft, only just cooked through.
  • CURRIED RICE.
1 lb. of Patna rice, 1 quart of cold water, 1 dessertspoonful of curry, 1 oz. of butter, and salt to taste. Wash the rice, mix the curry with the proper quantity of water, and set the rice over the fire with it, adding the butter and seasoning. Let the rice come to the boil slowly, and stir it a few times to prevent it sticking to the saucepan. When the rice boils, cover it with a piece of buttered paper, and let it cook very gently, not stirring it again. When all the water is absorbed, serve the rice. Do not allow it to get very soft; the rice will take from 15 to 20 minutes’ cooking only.
  • CURRIED RICE AND TOMATOES.
½ lb. of Patna rice, 1 dessertspoonful of curry powder, salt to taste, and 1 oz. of butter. Wash the rice; mix 1 pint of cold water with the curry powder, put this over the fire with the rice, butter, and salt. Cover the rice with a piece of buttered paper and let it simmer gently until the water is absorbed. This will take about 20 minutes. Rice cooked this way will have all the grains separate. For the tomatoes proceed as follows: 1 lb. of tomatoes and a little butter, pepper and salt. Wash the tomatoes and place them in a flat tin with a few spoonfuls of water; dust them with pepper and salt, and place little bits of butter on each tomato. Bake them from 15 to 20 minutes, according to the size of the tomatoes and the heat of the oven. Place the rice in the centre of a hot flat dish, put the tomatoes round it, pour the liquid over the rice, and serve.
  • PORTUGUESE RICE.
1 teacupful of rice, 3 medium-sized onions, 3 tomatoes, 2 oz. of grated cheese, ½ teaspoonful of herbs, 1 oz. of butter, pepper and salt to taste. Peel and slice the onions and tomatoes and fry them in the butter for 15 minutes; place the rice over the fire with 1 pint of water; add the onions, tomatoes, herbs, and seasoning, and let all cook until the rice is quite soft; serve in a vegetable dish with the grated cheese sprinkled over.
  • RICE AND LENTILS.
Boil the rice as above; stew Egyptian lentils with chopped onions, pepper, salt, and a little butter, until well done. Put the rice on a dish, pour over the stewed onions and lentils, serve, and eat with green vegetables.
  • RICE AND ONIONS.
Boil whole onions in water until done quite through, remove them from the water, and put in it washed rice with a little pepper, salt, and butter. When done, serve with the onions and eat with a green vegetable.
  • SAVOURY RICE (Italian).
1 breakfastcupful of rice, 4 tablespoonfuls of grated cheese (Parmesan or other cheese), 1 oz. of butter, a pinch of saffron, pepper and salt to taste. Boil the rice with water as above, then add the cheese, butter, saffron, and seasoning; mix all well, and serve.
  • SAVOURY RICE CROQUETTES.
½ lb. of Patna rice, 1-1/2 pints of milk, 1 lb. of Spanish onions, 1 oz. of butter, 2 eggs, 1 teacupful of raspings, Allinson’s oil for frying. Boil the rice in the milk until soft, and turn it out to get quite cold. Meanwhile chop the onions up fine and fry them brown in the butter. Form the cold rice into balls, and with the thumb of the right hand hollow them sufficiently to admit of their receiving a stuffing of fried onions, close them again carefully, dip them in the eggs beaten up and then in the raspings, and fry them in boiling oil a light brown. Serve with gravy. There are various stuffings which can be used instead of the onions—fried mushrooms chopped up, some olives chopped fine and mixed with hard-boiled yolks of eggs, &c.
  • SPANISH RICE.
6 onions, 6 tomatoes, 1-1/2 pints of vegetable stock, herbs and seasoning, 1-1/2 cupfuls of rice, butter. Fry the onions and tomatoes in butter until well browned, then place them with the seasoning into the cold stock, and add the rice.
