Healthy Doggy Chips

If your pooches are anything like mine then chip shop day is their favourite day. But as you know they are not really that healthy for us humans, let alone dogs. I had some left over carrots and potatoes and decided to experiment. I didn't take any photos of the process as I didn't think it would work, sorry.


What you need;

2 large potatoes
2 too 3carrots
Corn flour
1 large egg
Plain flour
Pizza cutter
Baking paper.

What to do:

1 - Peal and chop your potatoes and boil.

2 - Grate your carrots into your potatoes when cooked and drained.

3 - Mash together and add 1 large egg.

4 - Your mash will be really moist so you need to start adding the cornflour and flour, it's hard to say how much, I added half of each till it was less sticky and the mixture stuck together in one large lump and wrap in cling film.

5 - Put in the fridge till cold. (I cheated, i put it in the freezer for 40 mins)

6 - Put your oven on to 200degrees celsius, (I have a fan assisted oven, but if yours is not then put in at 220).

7 - Take your mixture out of the fridge and roll out on to a floured surface, ( I had to split my mixture into 3 as my chopping board is only small). 

8 - Use your pizza cutter to slice strips and place on a baking tray covered with baking paper.

9 - It took my oven 30-40 mins to cook, as they were all slightly different thickness due to me rolling 3 batches. Turn over half way, and take out when edges get a darker brown than the rest and firm on top but still soft in the middle.

10 - The cut to desired length when cooled, if you wait till they go cold then it will be harder to cut.



MMM Posh chips.





Chip shop chips.


I noticed that the carrots made them look like black county battered pink chips. 
However, my one mistake was that I needed to use more carrots, 
but I have advised in the ingredients above.
