This recipe is a healthier take on potato chips, using fresh herbs and olive oil for a fuller flavor experience.

Ingredients

• 6 russet potatoes
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 stalk fresh rosemary
• 1 cup fresh sage leaves
• 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tsp salt
• 3 tsp black pepper, fresh ground

Directions

1. Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut into thin slices using a mandolin.
2. Divide the potatoes into three groups.
3. Mince the basil leaves and mix with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1/3 cup olive oil.
4. In a bowl mix the basil-olive oil mixture with the potatoes. Mix well coating all the potato slices on both sides.
5. Lay the basil-olive oil coated potatoes on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
6. Bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. All slices will not cook at the same rate. This is okay.
7. Remove from the oven and transfer to paper towels to drain.
8. Repeat this process with the rosemary and then again with the sage.

Note: These potato chips pair well with Grilled Italian Hamburgers. For a fun twist experiment with blue potatoes and red potatoes.
