Rosemary Chips Recipes

ROSEMARY-OLIVE OIL POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with about 1 1/2 inches of equal parts olive oil and vegetable oil. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Slice the potatoes on the thinnest setting of a mandoline (they should be almost see-through). Lay the slices on a clean kitchen towel in a single layer and pat dry with paper towels. One at a time, transfer the slices to the cold oil (starting with cold oil keeps the potatoes from sticking to one another). If the potatoes are not completely submerged, add more oil to cover. Add the garlic and rosemary to the pot.
• Turn the heat to medium high and cook, undisturbed, 5 minutes. Stir the potatoes once to make sure they are not sticking to the bottom, then let fry, undisturbed, until golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the chips with a strainer and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

ROSEMARY CHIPS

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced russet potatoes with 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary, 1 grated garlic clove, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of cayenne. Spread on a baking sheet; roast in a 500 degrees F oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes and cook until golden and crisp, 8 more minutes. Season with salt.

HOMEMADE ROSEMARY POTATO CHIPS WITH CHARRED ONION DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: Cut the onion into slices, keeping the layers together in full rounds. Lightly oil a hot grill or cast-iron skillet and place the onions cut-side down on the heated surface. Cook on one side until completely blackened and charred. Turn and char the other side, about 5 minutes total.
• When all the onion is cooked, cool it completely, and then roughly chop. Combine the onion, sour cream, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire and lemon juice in a food processor. Puree until thoroughly mixed but not smooth. (To make the dip without a food processor, finely chop the onions, and then blend with the remaining ingredients.) Stir in the chives and adjust the seasoning.
• For the potato chips: Slice the potatoes thin (less than 1/8 inch) on a mandoline. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl and rinse under cool running water until the water in the bowl is clear. Drain and dry very well with paper towels or spin in a salad spinner.
• Heat a large pot of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Add the potatoes in batches and fry until crisped, about 3 minutes per batch. When they are brown, remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season immediately with salt. When all the chips are cooked, toss in a bowl with the rosemary and freshly ground pepper.

ROSEMARY CHIPS

Steps:

• Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly slice the potatoes. Put the potatoes in a large bowl of ice water and refrigerate for 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a deep heavy-bottomed pot, add the rosemary and enough oil to come 1/3 of the way up the sides. Heat the oil to 360 degrees F. Remove and the rosemary from the oil when it turns golden and crispy. Reserve.
• Strain the potatoes and thoroughly pat dry by laying them out on a flat surface. Add potatoes to oil, in batches, making sure to keep the temperature above 350 degrees F. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes. While potatoes are frying, remove the rosemary leaves from stem and chop. Transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined bowl and sprinkle immediately with the rosemary and salt, to taste. Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes

ROSEMARY CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cream the butter with the sugar using a handheld mixer. Mix in the rosemary, salt, and flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips, and stir by hand until well-distributed. Gather the dough into a ball. (If the dough begins to soften or feel greasy, chill the dough for 15 minutes.)
• Roll the dough out into a rectangle of 1/2-inch thickness and cut into rectangles about 1/2-inch by 2-inches. Place the dough pieces on a cold ungreased baking sheet. Prick the tops with a fork. Bake the shortbread until the dough starts to turn a golden color, about 25 minutes. Remove the shortbread from the baking sheet and let cool completely on a rack.

OVEN-BAKED FAT CHIPS WITH ROSEMARY SALT

Steps:

• Place a baking tray in the oven and preheat it to 230 degrees C (450 degrees F).
• Parboil the potato chips, skin on, for about 10 minutes in boiling salted water.
• Heat some olive oil in a frying pan, smash the garlic bulb and chuck in the cloves, then add the potato chips. Toss in the oil and season with pepper. Bake on the preheated tray for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy and golden.
• Remove the leaves from the rosemary and put in the mortar with the lemon zest and salt. Bash up to make a green paste, adding more salt if it is too wet. Push through a sieve, and sprinkle on the chips to serve.
