Potato chip exhibit to open Saturday

BALLSTON SPA“In the Saratoga Style: Potato Chips and Their Regional Folklore” opens Saturday at Brookside Museum, Saratoga County History Center, 6 Charlton St. The exhibit, which will be on display through Dec. 31, explores the many stories that have claimed to explain the story behind the snack, from disgruntled customers to kitchen mishaps.

The use of the “Saratoga” name to nationally market potato chips is seen through the expansive collection of famed local expert Alan Richer, known as “The Toga Chip Guy.”

The exhibit is open to the public 1 to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. For more information,

has written a book about grocery shopping. He had requested a quote from me about about chips -- their place in snack history, their popularity, etc.

I had provided him with a quote that I will disclose once his book is published.

Here is that quote!

"Potato chips are more American than apple pie. Compare the shelf space allotted to potato chips and apple pie in your local grocery store"

Crispy Garlic Dip

Stacks Image 201184
Every party loves onion dip. But does every host love hovering around the stove, caramelizing onions for almost an hour, to make it? I think not. Luckily, the solution is easy: Skip the onions altogether and swap in garlic. This tiny-but-mighty allium goes from raw and sharp to golden and toasty in a matter of minutes. I first learned to team up pan-fried garlic and tangy yogurt from Meera Sodha, who created a garlicky raita for her book Made in India. The longer the two hang out together, the more intense the flavor becomes. Just before serving, I like topping this dip with crispy garlic chips, but you can skip this step if you’re short on time. Pair with raw vegetables, seedy crackers, and potato chips. Or plop it atop soup. Or spread it on toast for open-faced sandwiches. Note: To thinly slice the garlic cloves, I prefer to use a very sharp knife, but you can also use a mandoline (just be careful). —Emma Laperruque


Lotus Root Chips with Shichimi Togarashi

Lotus root chips are an easy homemade snack that’s incredibly rewarding. Shichimi togarashi (ground red chile pepper, sansho, roasted orange peel, black sesame, white sesame, hemp seed, ground ginger, and dried seaweed) adds a nice kick of spice and umami, but garlic or curry powder would also be great substitutes.
Stacks Image 201201
Ingredients:

1/2 LB Lotus Root
1TBSP Vinegar
2C Vegetable oil - more as needed
1TBSP Scichimi Togarashi (or an spice of your choice) more as needed
Salt to taste


4 SERVINGS

  • 1- Remove the lotus root skin with a vegetable peeler, and cut off the browned ends.
  • 2- Using a mandoline or a chef’s knife, cut lotus root into even 1/8 inch slices.
  • 3- Place sliced lotus root into a medium sized bowl and submerge in water plus 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Let sit for 20 minutes.
  • 4- Dry the lotus root with paper towels, thoroughly patting down before frying.
  • 5- Fill a frying pan with oil up to ½ inch on high heat.
  • Use a wooden chopstick to check if the heat is high enough. Dip the chopstick in the oil, and if it begins to bubble at a steady pace, the oil is hot enough.
  • 6- Drop slices of lotus root into oil without crowding the pan, making sure they do not stick to each other. It should take 2 to 3 minutes for them to crisp up and turn lightly golden (not dark brown!).
  • 7- When ready, remove lotus root chips from pan and let cool on a paper towel-covered plate.
  • 8- Repeat in batches, adding more oil if needed.
  • 9- After all of the lotus root is fried, transfer the chips to a bowl or large tray. Sprinkle with shichimi togarashi and salt, coating and mixing evenly. Taste as you go, and add more accordingly. Serve immediately.

I love changing up a dip if you need some extra ideas enhancing it or giving it a kick of heat.
From making this to the slow cooker to adding in more toppings and flavors, these tips will be leaving your bean dip endless and with so many fun ways to eat it.
I do love the classic bean dip that I started out as but it is a good base to create your type of bean dip that fits you and your style.
Enjoy your bean dip and know that any chip will be happy to be dipped in it!
  • You can make this in the slow cooker by adding everything together and cooking on low for 2 to 3 hours or until warm and your cheese is melted. Add extra cheese on top and serve.
  • Add in 1/4 cup of drained Rotel Tomatoes for more tomato flavoring throughout the dip.
  • Have fun with your cheese choice and add jalapeño or colby jack shredded cheese to the dip mixture.
  • For a more fuller dip, add in ground beef or shredded chicken to the bean dip mixture.
  • To change up the look and flavor try pureed white beans instead of refried beans fora white bean dip mixture.
  • Like a little heat, add canteen peppers, jalapeños or red pepper flakes to make a spicy.
  • Fresh lime juice is a great addition to refresh this dip.
  • Add in cooked, chopped onion for a crunchy taste.
What to serve with bean dip
These are just some of our favorite ways of dipping. Our go-to is always a salty chip with this savory dip.

You can also mix up your chips with flavored bags of chips or even a good ole tortilla.
This bean dip is also good on tacos or burritos when having a Mexican style dinner.
The way to use and eat this bean dip is endless!
  • Tortilla chips
  • Pretzels
  • Crackers
  • Vegetables cut up: green peppers are my favorite!
  • Cheesy Nachos
  • Fritos
Storing bean dip
We love to make our bean dip hot and ready but I know some need more time to make other things.
This way you can make ahead, refrigerate or even freeze for your party night.
Follow these simple steps to see what is best for you when making your bean dip!
  • Making ahead: this bean dip can be made a day ahead. You will want to make sure it is sealed tightly in the refrigerator and warm back up on the stove for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally before serving.
  • Making ahead without cooking: If you want to make the bean dip ahead but can’t bake it, simply prepare it and put it in the pan you plan to bake it in. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. This will last about 2 days in the refrigerator.
  • Refrigerator: make and prepare your bean dip, let cool completely and add to an airtight container. You can store it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
  • Freezer: I don’t recommend it being frozen but it totally can be! You will want to make it and let cool completely and wrap it up tightly then freeze for about 1 to 2 months. When ready to eat, let it defrost in the refrigerator. Then warm up on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Warming up: this bean dip can be heated up in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or on the stove top. Stirring occasionally. Once it is warm you are ready to serve!

Home Baked Potato Chips Recipe
Skip the store-bought chips and bake your own healthier potato chip snacks at home.

By Lara Ferroni
From "Real Snacks"
April 2018






  • chips-jpg
  • This recipe can be used with any of your favorite veggies to make healthy snacks at home.
    Photo by Lara Ferroni
  • chips-jpg
  • cover-jpg
Yield: 10 cups

Real Snacks (Sasquatch, 2012) by Lara Ferroni recreates your favorite childhood treats and brings them together all in one cookbook. Every recipe can be modified to be gluten-free or vegan friendly, so that everyone can take a trip down memory lane. The following excerpt is her recipe for baked potato chips.
Russet potatoes are the quintessential frying potato, but I recommend trying this recipe with a mix of other starchy vegetables like lotus root, parsnips, or yams. Pull out your mandolin for the thinnest, crispiest chips. Or look for special ridged chip cutters to make your own ruffled version. For traditional chips, fry the potato rounds; for less greasy (but still tasty) chips, bake them instead.

Ingredients:
• 3 medium russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• Safflower oil, for frying
• About 3 tablespoons salt, Sour Cream and Onion Flavoring or BBQ Flavoring
Instructions:
Slice the potatoes into 1⁄16-inch-thick rounds and place in a large bowl. Cover the potato slices with cold water, swish, and drain. Place the slices in a single layer on a towel and top with another towel. Gently press to dry the slices. Repeat with the remaining slices.
To fry the chips, heat at least 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the dried potato slices in batches, being sure not to crowd the pot, for 1 to 2 minutes, flipping once, until they are a light golden brown and the bubbling oil calms. If there is still bubbling going on, there is still moisture in the chips and they will be soggy. Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain and cool slightly. Sprinkle to taste with your chosen seasoning and serve.
To bake the chips, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray the dried potato slices with olive oil. Bake until the chips are a light golden brown, about 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking. Sprinkle to taste with your chosen seasoning and serve.
These chips are naturally gluten-free and vegan.

Easy Oven-Baked Zucchini Chips
Thin, crispy, and irresistible! These zucchini chips are a great way to use up all that zucchini in your garden!

prep time: 10 minscook time: 2 hrstotal time: 2 hrs 10 mins

Course: SnackCuisine: American

Servings (adjustable, but please note that results, timing, and cookware may vary when adjusting servings): chips

Calories: 54kcal

Author: Julie Wampler

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large zucchini

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets (I used two 17" baking sheets) with silicon baking mats or parchment paper.

  • Slice your zucchini on a mandolin. Mine had 1, 2, or 3 for thickness and I used 2.

  • After you slice your zucchini, place the slices on a sheet of paper towels and take another paper towel and sandwich the zucchini slices and press on them. This helps draw out the liquid so it'll cook a bit faster.

  • Line up the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet tightly next to each other in a straight line, making sure not to overlap them.

  • In a small bowl, pour your olive oil in and take a pastry brush to brush the olive oil on each zucchini slice.

  • Sprinkle salt throughout the baking sheet. Do NOT over-season, in fact, it's better to use less salt initially because the slices will shrink; so if you over-season, it'll be way too salty! You can always add more later.

  • Bake for 2+ hours until they start to brown and aren't soggy and are crisp.

  • Let cool before removing and serving.

  • Keep in an airtight container for no more than 3 days.

EASY NO-BAKE CHERRY CHEESECAKE

No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake
Servings 16
Ingredients
16 ounces cherries pitted
1 cup granulated sugar divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces Lay's® Classic Potato Chips
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 8- ounce packages cream cheese
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, combine 10 ounces of cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Cook over medium low heat for 15-20 minutes. Stir to help the sugar dissolve and then use the side of your spoon to smash the cherries some, releasing more of their juices. Allow to cool. Strain the cherry mixture through a fine mesh sieve and reserve the liquid.* You should have around 1 1/2 to 2 cups of liquid.
For the crust, in a food processor grind the potato chips until they are a fine meal similar in size/texture to the almond flour. Combine the chips, almond flour, and melted butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl, stirring well so everything gets combined. Press into a square baking pan lined with parchment paper, or individual serving glasses.
In a blender, combine the cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup of the cherry juice, and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Blend until well combined. Pour over the crust. Allow to chill overnight or freeze for at least 2 hours.
Last, in a small pot add the remaining cherry juice and whisk in the cornstarch or arrow root powder over medium heat. Then stir in the remaining 6 ounces of cherries. Allow to cook for a few minutes until the mixture thickens into a glaze. Remove from heat and allow to cool. When you're ready to serve, add the cherry glaze to the top.
Recipe Notes
*You can skip straining the cherry mixture if you like, this step is optional. I like the smooth texture it produces in the cheesecake filling, but it's not 100% necessary and either way this will make a delicious cheesecake. It just depends on your texture preferences.

2 handfuls of vegetables, whatever’s in your fridge (I used half a shallot and a couple of stalks of asparagus.)

1 handful of either cooked meat or about 4 ounces of breakfast sausage or bacon (I used some sous vide carnitas, and it was a great idea.)

Melissa Peterman’s Potato Chip Cashew Cookies

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. table salt
¾ cup crushed potato chips
½ cup chopped roasted salted cashews

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Beat butter and sugar with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on medium-high speed until lightened in color and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg yolk and vanilla, and beat until just incorporated. Add flour and salt, and beat until well incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add crushed potato chips and cashews, and stir gently until incorporated.

2. Shape dough into 1½-inch balls, and place them 3 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with a fork.

3. Bake in preheated oven until edges start to turn golden and center is still slightly soft, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheet, and place on a wire rack. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Makes: About 1½ dozen cookies
Active time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

SERVINGS:6

Salted potato chips take the place of fresh potatoes in this easy and fun baked breakfast omelet (a spin on the Spanish Tortilla Española). Swap in your favorite chip flavors to personalize it for your family.

Ingredients
12 large eggs
8 ounces salted potato chips (preferably kettle-cooked style)
1 large yellow onion
Olive or vegetable oil, for cooking

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350º F.

2. In a large bowl, crack and whisk the eggs. Add the potato chips and toss well to coat, and set aside.

3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in an ovenproof (preferably nonstick) 10-12-inch skillet with 2-inch sides over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute just until translucent. Add the egg and potato chip mixture and let cook, stirring slightly to distribute onions and potatoes.

4. Transfer to oven and bake about 30 minutes, or until eggs are slightly puffed on edges and fully set in the center.

5. Remove from oven and turn out onto a serving platter. Slice and serve immediately.
