This recipe for Baked Potato Crisps with Rosemary and Lemon Salt, is so convenient, because you get to use the leftover scraps, and that right there, is saving moolah! I was preparing Pot Roast, the other day, and I was peeling potatoes, and I remembered a recipe that I one came across. So I figured, this would be an awesome snack while the pot roast was cooking for three hours.
It is so simple, and uses what you already have in your house, and the kids will just eat them up! And because this is only the skin of the potato, I have heard that each crisp is only 5 carbs. As you know, i am trying to lose weight for an engagement party coming up, and i must say that with proper diet and exercise, I have lost 8 pounds in about 3 weeks, so far. The key to my weight-loss is to not eat any carbs after 6 pm, and drink lots of water.
Baked Potato Crisps with Rosemary, and Lemon Salt
These Crisps do not take much time to prepare, and only bake for about 25 minutes, and make a perfect snack. With the addition of Rosemary and Lemon, these Potato Crisps, become more sophisticated, and can be served as an appetizer at a party, or family gathering, and paired with a glass of wine. I just love the fragrance of Rosemary, and I put it on so many dishes, because I feel that it give the dish a depth of flavor. I always have herbs growing on my kitchen window sill, and more growing in my garden.
Served with a side of Guacamole, or Sour Cream, or dip, these are not to be missed, and can be done when you are using the full potato for something else. so plan on making these often! Enjoy:)
