Baked Potato Chips and Sweet Onion Dip (adapted from www.marthastewart.com)

Just can't stay away from those potato chips on game day? Make your own healthier version at home!

Baked Potato Chips

Olive-oil or vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 lbs. russet potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch-thick slices
3 T. olive oil
Coarse sea salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. Put potatoes, oil, 1 T. sea salt in a bowl. Toss to combine and season with peppers.

2. Arrange potato slices on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1/4 inch apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through until potatoes are crisp and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Spread out potatoes on parchment paper; let dry 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.

Sweet Onion Dip

1 T. olive oil
2 Vidalia or Mayan sweet onions (1 lb. total), finely chopped
Coarse sea salt and ground black pepper
1 c. Tofutti Non-Hydrogenated Sour Supreme*
2 oz. plain Tofutti Non-Hydrogenated Better Than Cream Cheese, softened*
1 1/2 tsp. white-wine vinegar*
1/4 c. finely chopped chives

Directions

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

2. In a medium bowl, combine onions, Sour Supreme, Better Than Cream Cheese, vinegar, and chives; season with salt and pepper. Chill dip until slightly thickened, about 1 hour; or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Serve with potato chips, raw veggies, etc.

Makes about 2 cups of dip.

*The potato chips are gluten free, but the onion dip may not be. Tofutti does not certify their products as gluten free, though there is minimal risk with the products used in this recipe. The company uses rigorous kosherization and sterilization processes to ensure that there is no cross-contamination with their products. However, some flavorings and vinegars are distilled with grain alcohol and may contain gluten. Upon reading the labels for these products, it does not appear that they contain gluten. If your condition is severe, use caution and do your own research before consuming any products of which you are uncertain of gluten content.
