Baked Potato Chips Recipe
Purple Majesty potatoes have the deepest purple skin and flesh of all the purple potatoes out there. Although their taste is not very different from conventional potatoes, they are said to have an abundance of purple goodness in them. According to this article, Purple Majesty potatoes have 4 times the level of antioxidants than regular white potatoes. I don’t about you but the gorgeous color alone is enough to get me going on a search for these amazing tubers.
Sometimes a few of these potatoes can be found in a mix bag of fingerlings but they are rarely sold on their own here in my neck of the woods. I was thrilled that they became available at my local health food store last month. I immediately bought some as I found out that they would only be available in the summer/fall season. I guess it would be something to look forward to next year.
Purple potatoes can be roasted, baked, or mashed to brighten up any dish. They are particularly stunning sliced thinly and made into Baked Potato Chips. I love how they turned out with patches of gold in each chip!
These chips can easily be flavored with your choice of herbs and seasonings. I kept it simple with kosher salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
