Potato Chip Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Put the potato flakes on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until they are a deep golden brown. Stir them once during baking to ensure even browning. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the flakes cool completely, stirring them occasionally to speed the process, about 30 minutes. Pour the flakes into a blender and pulverize them into a fine powder.
• Combine the potato powder, flour, and salt in a bowl and whisk together. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and yolks. Pour the eggs into the flour mixture and slowly mix them together, working from the center of the bowl outward. Once you have a cohesive dough, turn it out of the bowl and knead it on a lightly floured work surface, adding more flour as necessary until the dough is silky and dry. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can put it in a vacuum bag, seal it, and let it rest for 10 minutes before rolling out your pasta. (This will leave you with a moister dough than resting in plastic wrap.)
• Unwrap the dough and cut it in quarters. Keep 3 pieces of the dough wrapped loosely in plastic while you work with the first piece. Lightly flour a work surface and, using a rolling pin, begin to roll out the dough. This process takes time. Dust the surface of the dough lightly with flour and continue to roll from the middle to the edges, turning the dough a quarter turn and flipping it over every couple of rolls. Continue to roll the dough until it is 1/8 inch (3 millimeters) thick and roughly 10 × 12 inches. Dust the dough with flour and fold down the top third of the dough. Dust the dough with flour again, and fold the bottom edge of the dough up over the third of dough you just folded down. Dust the dough with flour and, using a sharp knife, cut it lengthwise into ribbons 1/4 inch (6 millimeters) wide. Unfold each noodle, and dust with flour. Sprinkle a baking sheet with flour and loosely nest each batch of noodles on the pan in a single layer. Cover them with a kitchen towel and repeat with the remainder of the dough.
• When all the dough is rolled, refrigerate the noodles until ready to use. If using within a few minutes, simply cover with a kitchen towel.
• Alternatively, you can roll out the dough with a pasta maker following the manufacturer's instructions, using the cutter of your choice.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water, then add the noodles. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate pot large enough to hold the noodles, melt the butter over medium heat. Drain the cooked noodles and put them in the pot with the butter. Coat the noodles evenly with the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. (If you have a balloon whisk, now is the time to use it: It will aerate better than a standard whisk, and should take half the time and effort. Either way, your arm will burn by the end of this, but a fluffy, puffy omelet will be your reward.)
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium.
• Add the chips to the eggs. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold a few times to ensure chips are coated. Let the chips soak for 1 minute.
• Pour the mixture into the skillet, using the spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, then to loosen the omelet from the sides of the pan.
• After the bottom of the omelet is just about set - it should barely take on color but the top isn't completely set - 3 to 4 minutes, cover the omelet with an upside-down plate or a large, flat lid. Holding one hand flat against the plate and holding the skillet by its handle, gently flip over the omelet to release it onto the plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then carefully slide the omelet from the plate, uncooked-side-down, into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, slice and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Rub 2 sheet pans with a few teaspoons of olive oil, and sprinkle over a light dusting of cornmeal. Set aside.
• Roll each dough ball into an oval shape about 1/8-inch thick and transfer onto the prepared pans. Cover each with pesto sauce, reserving about 2 tablespoons for the topping. Sprinkle each with Cheddar cheese. Add potato chips in one thick layer, overlapping chips as need to cover the surface.
• For each pizza, thin out reserved pesto with a tablespoon of olive oil, and then drip and drizzle it over the top of the chips. Top with red onions and mozzarella. Drizzle the tops of the pizzas with a little bit of olive oil.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until top and bottom crust of pizza is browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Place potato slices into a large bowl of cold water as you slice. Drain, and rinse, then refill the bowl with water, and add the salt. Let the potatoes soak in the salty water for at least 30 minutes. Drain, then rinse and drain again.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Fry potato slices in small batches. Once they start turning golden, remove and drain on paper towels. Continue until all of the slices are fried. Season with additional salt if desired.

Steps:

• To Marinate: Put chicken breasts in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over chicken and season with salt and ground black pepper. Cover dish and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Put potato chip crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl. Roll chicken in crumbs until well coated, then place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
