For The Mint Salt
- Preheat the oven at 90°©.
- In a mixer jar, add mint leaves along with salt & lemon juice. Grind it to a paste.
- Transfer the mixture on a baking tray & spread it evenly. Put it in a preheated oven for 15-18 mins.
- Make sure to scrape the salt mixture with the help of a fork; half way through the baking.
- Once done, allow it to cool down completely. (the mixture should resemble sand like texture)
- Again blend the mixture to a fine powder. Make sure the grinder jar is completely dry.
- Store it in an air tight container.
For The Potato Chips
- Preheat the oven at 180°© & line the baking tray with parchment paper.
- Boil 2-3 cups water into a deep bottom pan. (depends upon the quantity of your potato slices)
- Using a mandolin slicer, thinly slice the potatoes.
- Transfer them in a bowl of water, to avoid them from browning.
- Once the water in the pan starts boiling, add sliced potatoes & remove it in 30 seconds.
- Take out the slices on a strainer.
- Now, pat dry the slices on a clean kitchen towel or kitchen roll.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Sprinkle the prepared mint salt on them.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp.( Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning)
- Once the chips are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Recipe note – If you don’t have an oven, you can also dry the mint salt by simply putting it out in sun for a couple of days.
