Recipe: Baked Potato Chips with Green Onion Dip (slightly adapted from the recipe submitted by Maize Marvel)

Alpha House — a shelter for homeless families in Washtenaw County — has published a cookbook called “Ann Arbor Tailgates: Your Favorite Recipes.” It features stories and photos in addition to recipes, and it is most entertaining. This simply-prepared snack was so amazingly good! I'd baked only one potato's worth of chips, then promptly ate them all by myself.

Chips:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large Yukon Gold potato, sliced very thinly
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush the oil over a baking sheet, then place the baking sheet into the oven for 10 minutes.

Lay the potato slices onto the hot baking sheet without overlapping them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, then bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes, then flip the chips over and bake them for another 5 minutes or until done to your liking.

Dip:

• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 large green onion, chopped
• sprinkle of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Mix all ingredients together and serve with the chips.
