The potato chips look perfect!!

Thought of you this morning. Made potato chips for game day snacks. More are in the fryer. We are sorting out our seed potatoes and getting ready for our first planting. We will do another planting in January. We do have frost covers in case we get a frost later but they grow great here in the winter months in Florida. I still have quite a lot left from our last crop and have to use them up so I have been making potato chips.

They look delicious and I love chips. Question though...how do you store them and how long do they keep?

Quote: They don't last too long (they get eaten). I usually put them in a regular storage bag and if I make a lot I store them in a zip-lock bag.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Made some sourdough flatbread to snack on for the games on the weekend. Working on dips for the bread. Finished weeding and edging all of the garden beds. Time now for the winter crops to be planted. Now sorting out the greenhouse.

Sounds like you are having a busy time!

We are taking advantage of this warm dry sunny weather, temps are going to be mid-upper 70's for several days, so cleaning out a spare room (junk/hoard)

Leaves are still falling, so will have more of those to deal with, but has sure been pretty.

Hope you have a good weekend too!

We did just that yesterday. We have a large unfinished room above our garage which has been a catch all room. We finally cleaned it out, got rid of a lot of stuff and put some order to it since it is finally cool enough to be up there and not die from the heat. Eventually we plan on finishing it off and making a library out of it.

Quote: Ingredients

• • A large glass mixing bowl and clean hands
• • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose or bread flour
• • 1 ½ cups of fed sourdough starter (I make sure mine is fed the night before)
• • 1-3 TB of water to help control consistency
• • 2 TB olive oil
• • ¾ tsp of sea salt
• • Toppings like tomato sauce, veggies, meats, herbs, and cheeses

Instructions

• 1 Begin by adding the flour, sourdough starter, and olive oil to the bowl and start mixing with your hands.
• 2 Once the dough comes together, you can start kneading it on a clean flat surface by folding it into itself for about 3-4 minutes. Add 1 TB of water if the dough feels too stiff and dry.
• 3 The dough should feel dry enough where it no longer sticks to your hands yet still feels supple and knead-able. If it’s too sticky, add 1 TB of flour.
• 4 To make one large oval/rectangular pizza, form the dough into 1 ball and place it into a greased bowl to rise (I used olive oil). To make two smaller round pizzas, divide the dough and place the dough balls into two separate greased bowls. I like to roll the dough around the bowl to coat it with olive oil to keep it from drying out.
• 5 Cover the bowls with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and put it in a warm place
• 6 Depending on the temperature that day, it can take anywhere from 1-4 hours for the dough to double in size. Once it has done so, you can roll it out. Since I like large rectangular pizzas, I simply placed the dough on a greased baking sheet and spread it out with my fingers. Super easy and less clean up!
• 7 Once rolled out, brush the dough with olive oil and let it sit for another 30 minutes while you prep your toppings and preheat your oven to 500 degrees.
• 8 Once the oven is preheated, pop in the pizza crust to pre-bake it for about 2-3 minutes. This with keep the crust nice and sturdy and gives it a wonderful crunch.
• 9 Take the pizza crust out, and add your sauce of choice and all the toppings you desire. If you’re using a lot of fresh veggies like onion and bellpepper, you can sauté them if you want a softer consistency.
• 10 Once all of your toppings are placed, put the pizza back in the oven for 6-7 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown and the cheese is melted. Keep an eye on it!
• 11 Add fresh herbs like basil and cilantro, slice, and serve hot!

Notes

• This recipe makes one large 17-inch rectangular pizza or two 12-14-inch round pizzas.

Can I preferably freeze, or should I refrigerate the dough I didn't use.

OK I need ideas for old fashion Christmas presents. We are planning a trip to goergria for a family reunion at Christmas so yeah. I was thinking some sort of cookie mix in jars or hot chocolate.
