Homemade Olive Oil and Rosemary Potato Chips

Growing up, I was never a big potato chip fan. I preferred popcorn and it’s still a favorite snack, but a few years ago, we made a side dish with Yukon potatoes that quick became popular with the kids. When Melissa’s Produce sent me two bottles of Garcia de la Cruz olive oil this month, to use in a recipe creation challenge, I thought about that dish. Changing it up a little, I created a recipe for Olive Oil and Rosemary Potato chips that I think you’ll like!

The best part about this recipe is that it’s so simple. It also requires only four ingredients, and I bet you have all of them already in your pantry. Using baby potatoes makes these rosemary potato chips bite-sized and I guarantee when you put the bowl out on any table, it will get emptied fast.

It took me less than 30 minutes to have these on the table, so while you can definitely enjoy them hot out of the oven, they are equally delicious at room temperature. I served them with a soup and crusty bread.

You can technically use any olive oil and salt, but go big or go home on this one. It’s so basic that the flavors really shine, so amp them up by using quality EVOO like the Garcia de la Cruz pictured. It’s got a wonderful flavor, rich and smooth, and would be equally good as a dipper or used in hummus.

I have a lot of types of salt, and had initially planned on using Pink Himalayan, but when I went to grab it out of the pantry, I saw the box of Maldon Sea Salt Flakes that I’d purchased at a local cheese shop. They remind me of snow flakes or crystals and they are so pretty on anything. Sprinkling them on the slices of potato, it’s easy to see where you’ve already put the salt so you don’t oversalt or wonder if you hit them all. And the flavor!

Regular salt and quality olive oil will work, so if you don’t have anything fancier on hand, don’t let that stop you! These chips can also be dipped into dip (or ketchup, if you’re one of those who love it on everything…and no judgment, I get it!) and they travel well, requiring only a slight toasting or reheat upon arrival if they lose any crisp after storage. The flavor doesn’t abate at all so the only thing you have to watch is to not burn them.

Olive Oil and Rosemary Potato Chips

  • Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes
  • Olive Oil (I used Garcia de la Cruz Extra Virgin Olive Oil.)
  • Fresh Rosemary, Chopped
  • Preferred salt (I used Maldon Sea Salt flakes.)

Preheat oven to 400°.

Oil cookie sheet.

Slice potatoes thin. Place on cookie sheet, spread out completely so none are on top of each other.

Drizzle olive oil on all pieces; don’t be stingy, this is where you get a lot of the flavor!

Sprinkle salt and chopped rosemary, making sure every single chip gets a good amount of each.

Bake for 18 minutes. Check starting at 12-14 minutes in case your oven runs a little hot or you cut your potatoes very thin. They crisp up fast so even an additional minute or two will turn some brown.

Baby Dutch Yellow potatoes are very multipurpose. They aren’t too starchy so they lend themselves to recipes that require baking or boiling. They’re also affordable and last quite a while in your refrigerator. They’re something I like to keep on hand because they can be used in so many ways.

And olive oil. No kitchen is complete without it, and with so many brands and variances out there, it’s fun to experiment. This was my first time trying the Garcia de la Cruz, and I’m a new fan. The EVOO Blend is fruity and balanced, organic and is richer in antioxidants than other EVOOs, making it one of the healthiest olive oils on the market. It’s also got Vitamin E and is an anti-inflammatory. Healthy and delicious? Winning!

It’s a product from Spain but can be purchased online and other places, including Melissa’s Produce. We opened the bottle last week and if kept in a dark and cool place, should be safe through July 2021 without any change in flavor or texture. If you can, try this brand — you won’t be sorry. Bonus: the beautiful bottles will look gorgeous on your counter!

Brunch at The Benediction in Rowland Heights. Am Brunch at The Benediction in Rowland Heights. 

Amazing array of Eggs Benedict. Wide variety of specialty mimosas. This is the Lobster Benedict and Pear-Thyme 16 oz mimosa. Both were delicious. Side of fried green tomatoes, best I’ve had since Paula Deen’s restaurant in Savannah. 

Reservations suggested but not required. We waited maybe 10 minutes on a standby list. Masks required to get in. Temps checked. Tables distanced. Fabulous service.

Headed to Frank and Son early this morning. In lin Headed to Frank and Son early this morning. In line at 8:15am, doors opened at 9:00 and we walked right in (with a few hundred others). Masks on, socially distanced, one-way aisles, surrounded by fellow nerds. My new favorite place. (Disney, I love you, but you’re closed.) Found this amazing scepter that happens to light up. Loki gear is too hard to find, but now I have this sharp Asgardian weapon in my foyer...and while I just want to go around tapping peoples’ chests to see if their eyes turn black and they become my minions, I am also secure with this sharp weapon that just might really hurt someone. 

Kneel!

Thanks to @frankandsonshow in Rowland Heights for a wonderful morning! We found a bunch of @originalfunko Pops to fill gaps in our Avenger movie collection and a couple other surprises. I can’t wait to go back. 

Tips: go early. It had a line waiting outside when we left at 11:40am. Take cash, because a lot of places give a discount. If you see something you like, ask questions. Many vendors will hold it for you until you’re done if you pay for it. I saw negotiations happen. And have fun. It’s a bit overwhelming, as there is so much to look at. 

And now I am ready for the new Loki Disney Plus show in June!!

In 2020, we started our home renovation. We knew i In 2020, we started our home renovation. We knew it could be a challenge during the pandemic, but we’d been waiting and were ready. 

We started with new lighting throughout, adding additional outlets and power along the way, outside and in. What a difference it made! Then we moved on to the kitchen and its adjoining family/dining space, making it perfect for the family to eat in on the daily and for holiday meals and perfect for me to watch TV while prepping food or writing late at night. So many plans!

To really change it up, we decided to add a Butler’s Pantry to one wall, where there originally was nothing permanent. The design needed to incorporate our two wine fridges (one white, one red), our booze bottles, all our crystal and dishwater, and our bar equipment. I wanted two glass doors to display the pretty stuff and a hanging wine glass area...and a countertop to serve as a beverage area while entertaining. Easy, right?

The main kitchen layout stayed the same, but we gutted it entirely, removing all the aged oak cabinets and dark marble counters. Swinging the sledge that first time felt amazing! We chose Shaker-style cabinets in a slate grey, a stainless farmhouse double-sink and white quartz with grey marbling. To really maximize space, we turned a pony wall into a cookbook shelf with a matching counter, had a custom island built to stow my gear and provide more food prep area, and had a copper pot rack replated. I can’t forget the bench seat by the weird window that is extra storage and a great place to sit, with its new purple cushion. 

Then came a new dining set, a loveseat to complete the relaxing hangout nook, and a refaced fireplace. The blues of the backsplashes brighten up a once dark space, purple pops of color bring it all together, and we LOVE it in here!  Thanks to my son, the contractor, we have a unique area to entertain and spend time together. Stay tuned, more reno posts coming, as we’re doing the entire house!

Did you watch Tom and Jerry as a kid? I did, and I Did you watch Tom and Jerry as a kid? I did, and I loved it! Who didn’t, right? I always rooted for Jerry the Mouse! It was a popular cartoon then and now, the infamous duo is back in a new movie hitting the big screen, and HBOMax, on February 26!

A fun hybrid of live-action and animation, the new Tom and Jerry has a stellar cast, including Chloe Grace Moritz, Michael Pena, Colin Jost, Bobby Cannavale, Jordan Bolger and more! Based in New York City, now we get to see something we never thought we’d see: Tom and Jerry have to WORK TOGETHER.

In preparation for the movie, Warner Bros. sent us this awesome box of goodies, including this smash cake, full of treats and surprises. We’re going to have movie night this weekend, where we’ll play the game and laugh together, but I’m most excited to introduce my granddaughter, Charlotte, to another cartoon I grew up with. I’m sure she’s going to love Tom and Jerry just as much as I do!

I’ll have a blog post up soon with a downloadable activity pack and links to some games to prep for the movie — or just to stay occupied on another weekend safe-at-home! I’ll also include some photos of what’s inside this massive cake! (And let me just say, the CAUTION tape on the outside of the box had the delivery man doing a double-take. “Should I just put this right here?” ...as he set it down OH so carefully!)

Thanks, Warner Bros.! Can’t wait to watch the movie and have fun with the goodies!

Since lockdown started, we realized just how much Since lockdown started, we realized just how much money we spend on takeout and restaurant food. I'll be honest -- I miss restaurants but at least this past year has pushed me back towards one of my favorite activities: making food for those I love. I may not be able to entertain like we used to (yet), but now that our kitchen renovation is complete, I have the space to experiment and get ready with some new recipes. I also can throw together simple food and healthier options, like this caprese salad. It's just about the easiest thing to make that can be a side dish or a meal in itself. 

I made this one using three different kinds of heirloom tomatoes from Melissa's Produce, fresh pre-sliced mozzarella and fresh basil, both picked up at our local grocer for just a few dollars, making this meal also inexpensive. Slice the tomatoes, layer them with the cheese and basil, and drizzle with your favorite type of balsamic vinegar. I used Bertolli balsamic glaze, which adds just a little tang to the salad. 

I used to order Caprese salads a lot when we'd got out. The crisp of the tomato, the creaminess of the cheese and the savory taste of the basil -- I may have made a smaller serving just for myself the next day. Healthier options don't have to be fancy, expensive or time-consuming. They also don't have to be super low-cal or small portions. Life is short, so eat good food, get some exercise and make new things.

During lockdown, it’s been so important to have During lockdown, it’s been so important to have a safe space to spend our time. I’ve never enjoyed having a garden more than this past year. Early on, it provided vegetables and throughout, it has been a haven. We put up a tv, spruced up the furniture and still, sitting under this tree has been a favorite. Even Shuri gravitates toward its shade, and these oranges have contributed to many breakfasts, brunches and mimosas. Here’s to another Sunday being happy at home!
