Method for baking potato chips

1. Leave the skin of the potato as is if you like. I removed the skin this time. Slice it as shown in the picture to bake it to crispy chips.

2. This step is all about giving extra flavor to your chips, you can skip it and add just oil and salt, mix it well.

(Optional): For my chips, I have added 3 tsp olive oil, chilli/paprika powder, basil, coriander powder, oregano, garlic powder and mixed it.

3. Place the potatoes on the baking tray such that each piece is separated from each other(as shown in the picture).

4. Preheat the oven to 200 degree celsius or 392 degree fahrenheit. Once the oven is ready, place the baking tray in it for overall 35 to 40 minutes.

5. Remove the baking tray in between at 15 minutes interval and give the potato slice a flip and place the tray back in the oven. You can occasionally check to see if the potatoes are done.

Note: If you like your chips to be more crispy, you can the potatoes inside the oven by turning of the oven for 5 to 8 mins.

1. Marinate the minced chicken by adding 2 tsp olive oil, 2 tsp chilli/paprika powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cumin powder and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

2. To a pan on the stove on high heat, add 4 tsp of olive oil, add diced onions and saute it to become translucent. Then add diced tomatoes and crushed ginger/garlic and cook it for 2 minutes.
