Homemade purple potato chips!

Sam and I had some leftover purple potatoes and decided to try making chips!

We sliced them nice and thin on the mandolin; tossed them in olive oil; topped them with sea salt, oregano, rosemary, and dehydrated garlic; and baked them at 350° for about 10-15 minutes.  Once they were put of the oven, we topped them with just a little extra salt.

They came out wonderfully crispy!  Despite being coated in olive oil, they did not taste too greasy or heavy.  It's an awesome way to use leftover potatoes that aren't enough to go in a main dish!

Started our patio garden for this year!

Sam and I started our patio garden!  We have some red and blue flowers in the hanging basket (can't remember what they are called); in the planters, we have prairie sage, Italian basil, raspberry lettuce, purple peppers, and spearmint!

Definitely excited to use the purple peppers and basil in my Italian recipes... and to use the lettuce in salads and on sandwiches!
