Monday Meal Makeover - Homemade Potato Chips

I'm not a huge potato chip fan, but I became less of a fan recently when I learned that most potato chips are actually made with corn byproducts and other synthetic (read: not found in nature materials) -- rather than potatoes. Kind of misleading if you ask me. So my husband (I give him full credit here) was craving something salty and when I imparted my newfound knowledge on him - he set off to recreate the "potato chip". And what he came up with is really easy and yummy.

INGREDIENTS:
whole potato, washed with skin on (as many as you want to make)
olive oil spray
sea salt

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray cookie sheet lightly with olive oil spray.
Thinly slice the potato either long way or short way (your preference) and place on baking sheet.
When all slices are on baking sheet, lightly spray top of potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt to your taste.
Bake 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and "pop" off the cookie sheet with a spatula.

These taste really yummy with ketchup or salsa.

One word to the wise - they don't keep for very long and need to be stored in a breathable container. So plan to eat/use them within 24 hours or so of making them.
