ingredients
- 1 large Idaho potato
- 3 bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces chopped chocolate
- oil for deep frying
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lay the bacon slices onto the prepared pan. Sprinkle each slice with the brown sugar, then with the red pepper flakes. Bake for 10-12 minutes until they are cooked completely. Set aside to cool. Once cool, dice the bacon into ¼” pieces.
Step 3
Heat the frying oil to 350°F. Slice the potato on a mandolin to about 1/10th of an inch slices. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
Blanch the potato slices in the oil for 5 seconds, then lay them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake them at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until they are all golden brown. Let them cool.
Step 5
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring each time until completely melted. Dip each chip into the chocolate, covering about 85% of the chip. Place back onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Place a few pieces of the bacon onto the chocolate covered chip. Repeat until you have dipped all of the chips and added bacon. Cool for 1 hour at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for one minute.
