Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Baked Potato Chips

My family loves these chips. They can be flavored with any spices you enjoy so there are endless possibilities.

Baked Potato Chips

Slice your potatoes very thin. The thinner you slice the potatoes, the crispier the potato chips will be. Toss them with olive oil and any seasonings you desire. Lay them in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 20-30 minutes or until crispy and golden.

2 cups instant mashed potatoes flakes (I use Betty Crocker Potato Buds)

Bring the broth to a boil either in a saucepan or in the microwave. Stir in the mashed potato flakes until moistened.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Ham and Scalloped Potatoes Casserole

Before allergies, the only scalloped potatoes I could make were the boxed kind. However, last night I decided to try to try homemade scalloped potatoes with ham using a white sauce. My family really liked this meal and I was pleasantly surprised how creamy the mixture stayed. The girls and I liked fresh ground garlic pepper on top. My husband liked bacon bits on his. The bottom 2 pictures we replaced the ham with cooked ground sausage and the green beans with peas.

Allow to set for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Beef and Peas with Potato Biscuits

My middle daughter, Tayana, loves dumplings and this time I wanted to try something a little different. The result is a simple to put together meal with really yummy biscuits. The potato biscuits were the highlight of the meal for the girls. The top picture shows the biscuits rolled into a ball and flattened slightly and the bottom picture shows the biscuits just dropped by spoonfuls. Either way they are great, but the rolled biscuits make a nicer presentation.

Beef and Peas with Potato Biscuits

2 lbs ground beef

1 can peas or any vegetables desired

1 can beef gravy

2 1/2 cups soy milk, divided use

2 cup Bisquick baking mix

2 cup instant mashed potato flakes (I use Betty Crocker Potato Buds)

Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned. Drain the grease then add the peas, gravy and 1/2 cup of the soy milk. Bring the mixture to a boil then pour it in a 9x13 baking dish. Warm the remaining 2 cups of soy milk in the microwave. Add the Bisquick and potato flakes then mix thoroughly. Allow the dough to rest for 2 minutes before rolling into balls, flattening slightly then placing on the ground beef mixture. If desired, you can drop the dough by spoonfuls on to the hot beef mixture instead of rolling it. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and lightly browned.

*  To prepare this meal faster, microwave precooked ground beef (I always keep some in the freezer), peas, gravy and 1/2 cup soy milk for 3 minutes or until hot. Then follow the rest of the instructions as listed.

Add the sliced sausage then cook, stirring occasionally and flipping the sausages, for 15 minutes or until heated through.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Guilt Free Microwave Potato Chips

Potato Chips are one of my family's favorite snacks. I decided to try and make my own without all of the oil so that we could have a healthier potato chip. I made them in the microwave using Pam cooking spray and any seasonings the girls like. They were so fast and easy to make and they were crispy and delicious.

Guilt Free Microwave Potato Chips

Potatoes
Safe cooking spray (I use Pam original)
Seasonings desired - Old Bay, garlic salt, seasoning salt, Mrs. Dash flavors, sea salt, etc.

Peel the potatoes then slice them as thin as possible with a potato mandolin slicer, a regular potato peeler or sharp knife. Place the slices in a single layer on a microwave safe dish. Spray with the cooking spray then sprinkle on any seasonings desired. Microwave until the potatoes start to brown like in the above picture. My batches each took 4 minutes, but the time will vary depending on your microwave and how thin your potato slices are. Be careful, because once they start to brown, they can get over done very quickly.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Tater Tot Casserole

My family loves this easy to prepare meal.

Tater Tot Casserole
