Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the warm water and vegetable oil or melted lard.
2. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and shape each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes.
4. After the dough has rested, heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
5. Carefully transfer the rolled-out tortilla to the hot skillet and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown spots begin to form. As each tortilla cooks, transfer it to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Serve the homemade tortillas warm with your favorite fillings and toppings.

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the chips (fries). Rinse the potato fries under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (160°C). Carefully add the potato fries in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer or pot. Fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are soft but not yet browned. Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
3. While the oil heats up for the second fry, prepare the fish batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually pour in the beer while whisking until a smooth batter forms. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, coating it evenly.
4. Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
5. Return the par-cooked potato fries to the hot oil and fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
6. Season the fish and chips with salt to taste. Serve the homemade fish and chips hot, accompanied by your favorite condiments such as tartar sauce, malt vinegar, or lemon wedges. It will be made even better with another British classic; mushy peas!

Russet

One of the world’s most popular potatoes, sometimes called Rooster potatoes. They have a russet-colored skin and a starchy flesh. You can bake, fry, or boil them, and they are great for mashing. They are less suitable for stuffing as they do not hold their shape well.

French Fingerling

Smooth skins and moist flesh, these keep their shape after cooking and so are great for roasting and braising, but also for potato salads. Their flesh is considered waxy, so they might not be the best choice if you’re making a mash.

New Potatoes

Another global favorite, are smaller, sweeter, and waxier than the fully grown types, and have relatively thin skins that would break easily. Make the best of them by brushing them with seasoned oil and letting them roast in the oven.

Ingredients:

These beet chips are literally the easiest snack you’ll ever make. You can use any type of beet that you prefer. For the recipe, you need to get 12 beets, 2 teaspoons celery salt and 1/2 cup olive oil. That’s it, only three simple ingredients.

Instructions:

The first step is to set the oven to preheat on 300 F degrees. You will need baking sheets, covered with parchment paper to place the beet chips on. Wash and peel the beets. A great idea is to mix several different types. Use a slicer to get very thin slices that look like actual chips. Once that’s done, you can get a large bowl and fill it with the slices. Add the olive oil and salt in the bowl and mix the chips very well. If you are using different beats, place them in separate plates. Let the slices in the bowls for 15 to 20 minutes. 

Remove all the liquid from them and you can now set them on the parchment paper. The recommended baking time is between 45 minutes and an hour. Check them out after 45 minutes and if you prefer them ultra-crisp, let the chips inside for extra 15 minutes.

But if you want to coax some magical flavors out of a snack aisle, turn that bag of chips into a festive plate of chicken nachos. It’s easy and delicious. Here’s how:

It All Starts With A Big Bag Of Crispy Chips

White corn restaurant-style chips are light and crispy, not like the overly-crunchy and more rustic dense yellow-corn tortilla chips. The lighter-style chip works best as a nacho base because the chips will get toasted in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, line a baking sheet with foil, and lay down a base of chips.

Add Copious Amounts Of Cheese, Chicken and Whatever Else You’d Like

Sprinkle a cup of shredded mild cheddar or taco-style cheese over the chips. Pre-cooked chicken makes a delicious and convenient nacho protein choice. Anything from a shredded rotisserie chicken meat or packaged grilled chicken strips will work. Other great add-ons include sliced green onions, drained black beans and pickled jalapenos.

Bake, Jazz-up And Enjoy

Toss that sheet pan into the oven for 9-10 minutes, until the cheese is nicely melted and the chip edges brown slightly. Now is the time to add a zip of freshness and truly elevate the snack to a meal. Fresh tomatoes, avocado slices, salsa, chopped cilantro, and drizzled sour cream all counterbalance the richness of the melted cheese and savory chicken.

Transfer to a platter and dig into your masterpiece.
