Happy Whole 30 January! Let’s start off the year with our favorite snacks, chips!

One of the hardest parts in my opinion doing Whole 30 is finding approved snacks that actually satisfy me. When I did my first round of Whole 30 I was eating a hard-boiled egg every time I was starving, which got old very quickly. These sour cream & onion chips are just the satisfying treat I need sometimes when I just need to hound down on some yummy chips, but still stay healthy. One of my favorite flavors is sour cream and onion, which is perfect because it doesn’t require many ingredients and its so easy to make them Whole 30 compliant.

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Whole 30 Sour Cream & Onion Chips:

• russet potatoes

• garlic powder

• onion powder

• parsley

• salt & pepper

• olive oil

• coconut oil

The trick to getting these chips nice and crispy is giving them an ice bath. Once they soak, you want to pat them dry and season them to get that delicious sour cream and onion flavor. After frying them in the coconut oil and olive oil, you lay them on paper towels to soak up the excess oil and season with a little more salt and pepper.
