I’m the exact opposite of Justin Bieber lately. I am so not on the global grind. I just read in New York Mag that the little Canadian plays like 3 shows a day, has a 20 person entourage (including his pillow-fight starting lead guitarist who describes himself as JB’s camp counselor…um what?) and is too busy sometimes to eat or even go bowling. Being 16, looking 14 and sounding 12 sounds like super hard work! Whatever the opposite of LOL and are, I’m sending them him way.

Well, it took me longer to type that JB intro and the title of this post than to actually make the super healthy side dish described above. After finding out I’m allergic to eggs and egg yolks (shit), I’ve had to phase American style potato salad out of my repertoire which is wiggity wack, because P-salad is ma’fuckin Da-lishious (even more than Flava Flav’s ex-boo).

So here is a awesome baked fry/potato chip to fill that void on my lunch plate.

When making fries at home I usually slice them super thin, toss them in olive oil, salt em and than broil till they crisp up (appx 5min). But at my office, all we have is a microwave and a super old toaster where you have to hold down the button to make it work. So I had to improvise.

I sliced the potato straight down into round potato chip like slices. Then I microwaved them for 1.30 sec. As any normal human being knows, microwaving uses radiation to heat water and excite the polarized molecules in food which allows uniform heating.

After that, I popped the cooked slices in the toaster, held down the button and bang-a-rang : crispy delicious, totally fresh baked potato chip fries made using no oil, no fry spray,no salt and only good ol fashioned safe microwave rays and a 20 year old toaster.

Try making these while tweeting at your fans on your private jet to Japan JB. Yeah…that’s what I thought.
