Bar Chips

Since visiting Irena and Sheenan in Arizona after our honeymoon me and Eddie have been obsessed with BAR CHIPS!!! We stopped at a restaurant while we were out there visiting and this restaurant served what they called "bar chips" during happy hour. They were a mix between chips and french fries and gone quickly after hitting our side of the bar.

When we got home it was my mission to re-create the bar chips. Originally they are fried but since I am deathly afraid of frying ANYTHING!!! mine are "oven fried" and last night I think we FINALLY perfected them!!!

Sabrina's Oven "Fried" Bar Chips



Ingredients:
-4-6 Small Potatoes
-Olive Oil
-Minced Garlic
-Seasoned Salt

Directions:
1) Pre-heat Oven to 425 degrees
2) Completely Cover the bottom of a high walled baking sheet with oil
3) Spoon a few spoonfuls of garlic directly into the oil and spread around until evenly throughout the whole baking sheet
4) Sprinkle seasoned salt on top of the garlic and oil
5) Wash and Peel the potatoes and cut (like chips) in 1cm thick slices
6) Place the Potatoes on top of the oil
7) Cook for 40 minutes flipping the potatoes half way through

TIPS/TRICKS:
-Check the Potatoes around the 30 minute mark and remove the potatoes that look done (usually in the corners of the pan) so they don't burn while the others are finishing
-Bar Chips should be crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle similar to French Fries
-Once you get the basic recipe down feel free to use whatever seasoning you want. Some yummy ones we have tried include: Garlic-Red Pepper Flakes-Parmesan Cheese, Italian Seasoning, Mesquite BBQ, Chili Powder-Cayenne Pepper

Copy Cat - Wingers Rebel Sauce

Image
Since getting a fryer as a wedding present - Fried Naked Wings have definitely made their place into our favorite dinner/party foods. Here in Utah we have a restaurant called Wingers that has one of the best sweet, sticky, spicy sauces that we have ever tried. Wingers does sell their original sauce at the various grocery stores in the area but being the spice lovers that we are we prefer it a little bit spicier (AKA Rebel sauce at the restaurant) which is not sold in stores. However thanks to Pinterest I have found a few copy cat recipes on  Chef in Training  and  Six Sisters Stuff  that feature the original recipe and have adjusted them into a spicier version. Copy Cat Wingers Rebel Sauce Ingredients: 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Original Hot Sauce 1 cup Brown Sugar Directions: 1) On low heat brown sugar and hot sauce until combined 2) Heat on Medium for about 5 minutes to thicken the sauce NOTES: According to both recipes you need to use Frank's Hot Sauce to get th
