Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons whey protein powder (unflavored)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to ensure even coating.

Step 4

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the chips are baking, combine the whey protein powder with Greek yogurt in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.

Step 7

Once the chips are ready, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over them and return the tray to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chives and serve with the high-protein Greek yogurt dip on the side.
