I added 1 teaspoon of "bulk Supplements Egg White Protein powder" to 220 grams of the blended smooth cottage cheese. Nuked the dollops of the mixture for 6 min. Came out thin, very crispy with very few (if any) holes. Big crunch just like a pringles. This will be my new go to chip recipe.
@fairweather67, im sure this is a great tip and as a professional cook I think the eggwhite protein should help stabilize it. Unfortunately it costs a FORTUNE in Canada. I wonder if liquid eggwhites would work... to be tested !!
I have made these chips twice and wow! But then I wondered...what else? I mixed the cottage cheese w garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, corn extract, and cumin in a parchment lined Pyrex pie plate. Microwaved until brown spots and crispy. Then topped with taco meat, peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream for the BEST and CRUNCHIEST low carb tostada I've had since going low carb. Thank you for this! PS also made a decent personal pizza, though put the cheese on the bottom and broil for a few minutes.
I have been on the keto diet for over 2 years now and have never counted my carbs. I lost 25% of my body weight. Thank you for finding a great way to have some chips again!. I used just the plain wal mart brand of cottage cheese with a dash of potato flakes blended and micro waved. Delightful! Keep up the great work!
For UK subscribers :- I tried this tonight with Aldi's full fat cottage cheese and Bachelor's Smash. 1/4 cup of blended Cottage cheese, 1 TBSP of the smash and a pinch of salt. Turned out perfectly and made 12 crisps. 800w Mic for 3 minutes at full power.👌🏻
That's funny! I remember a late 1970's black&white homo-erotic art film, set in Norway, with an all South African cast, which was titled "Bachelor's Smash". It won several awards in those lessor-known film festivals, including best actor which went to the film's star, the late Rod Shaftman, rest his soul. He played an interior decorator who moonlighted as a marriage counselor named Stone Longwood, who falls in love with a bounty hunter. Can't remember that character's name though.
This is so exciting that the potato flake one was so crunchy and able to hold dip. Maybe add the potato flakes as well as other flavors! You two are the best, my day needed brightening and there you were. Thanks so much 💗
Nutritional yeast is really useful for thickening sauces, stews, soups, etc. Anything that maybe would have used a flour based roux or corn starch. I also sprinkle it on roasted veggies, and anything I would put parmesan cheese on, even with additional parmesan cheese since it's full of protein and vitamins. Edit: Potato flakes are totally how they make Pringles. I wonder if adding some butter or oil would make them crispier. You all are so smart!
U girls are a hoot! Definitely great entertainment. We just started with keto. Lost 5 lbs. First week but because of extenuating circumstances I have ended up cheating more than I want to. I will say that this is the Best way of eating ever, and if I want to know how to fix something keto, I go straight to the Keto Twins. Keep up the good work
I microwaved mine in silicone cup cake liners! Perfection! Makes little scoops! thicker chip! More even cooking and i didn't add any potatoes! You'll have to play with how big a dollop... and how long to cook. I estamate that i had about .5tbs and 3 to 3.5 mins. At full power.
We tried your "blended" cottage cheese with the seasonings mixed in. To improve the texture, we added xanthan gum to the blend (1 tsp. to 1.5 cups Cottage cheese). They turned out great with a nice thickness and texture and are easily dippable. We started making chips after watching your first cottage cheese chip video. Cottage chips are now one of our favorite snacks! Love your channel!
I love my 2 boys (who are about your age) but when I watch your videos I find myself wishing we had 2 more and they were girls like you, lol. Sisters are great.❤
When making coating for chicken and fried veggies if you add arrow root to it it is much crispier. So if adding to your cc it just might make it crispier like the instant potatoes do. Both have a starch affect
It would be so fun watching y'all do a live stream. A little chit-chat, Super Thanks, and maybe some cooking of some kind. I think it would really boost y'all!
I find myself wanting to comment on your videos as I watch them. Seems like a livestream is the next step to a natural progression for y'alls channel. Easy for me (an introvert) to say. 😂

Tried the potato version and I added salt and vinegar seasonings, to my blended cottage cheese… good job Sarah was crispy light and yummy. I scooped with a small meatball scoop, and then spread out with a small offset spatula into perfect circles very thin came out, crispy, sturdy and yummy and thin. Cooked four minutes took out, flipped over flipped them over for 30 more seconds.
I tried these Sarah’s way and they are fantastic!!! You can’t even taste the cottage cheese!! I bought Trader Joe’s full fat cottage cheese and used 1/2 cup blended with 2 Tbsp of Bob’s Redmill Mashed potato flakes. I used parchment paper because I wasn’t about to cut up my silpat. Spooned them out in a circle and sprinkled with Redmond’s salt and pepper. Mine took longer to cook because my microwave is only 800W. They are soooo crispy and taste better than Pringles but sort of like Lay’s. This is a game changer! Thank you both! ❤
Omg! New to keto. I threw in a big carton of Walmart cottage cheese, a little bit of xanthan gum and a little bit of potato flakes. Excellent results! Thanks ! PS you guys are wonderful!
I’m glad you guys are still experimenting with this… and thank you for using the Yeast! Once again you are using something I had no idea what recipe I bought it for! 😂
Oh my gosh! I added a little instant potatoes and ranch/garlic/onion spices and they came out delicious and crispy! I will definitely make again. Thank you. You guys are awesome!!
its now May 17 of 2024.. I saw this video just a few days ago. I now have all the ingredients to try all of these varieties. These got rave reivews and I am excited to try them. My Sunday cook day agenda is now full. ( no silicone though, i dont have one) Thank You Emily and Sarah. I know this last year has been difficult. We all appreciate your efforts so much !
Thank you. I don't like cottage cheese. So I will try this. I've tried adding cottage cheese to baked goods and homemade crackers but I always taste the cottage cheese.
These were great!! I am doing dirty carnivore so I didn’t have the keto ingredients; added 1 TBL of brewers yeast to the blended daisy cottage cheese and then topped with everything but the bagel seasoning and WOW!!! Loved it!!! Thanks for all you do you two- love the channel and the fun.
After a few tries with different ingredients, my husband and I like this combo. I put in small food processor like someone has mentioned:1/2 C. Cottage cheese- 2 tsp instant taters- 1 heaping T of Nutritional Yeast and a little sprinkle of salt on each dollop. Only nuked for 3 1/2 minutes. Perfectly crispy! It might be my round silicone mat (said was for pizza when I bought) but my very first batch leaked through and after that I put parchment paper under it. Thank you 2 girlies for such wonderful recipes!!! Helps on our journey to stay healthy!!
We have been making ours in our dehydrator. They turn out crispy and are easier than making them in the microwave. We took the suggestion of using a silicone mat instead of parchment paper, placing a mat on each of of our dehydrator shelves. We mix our cottage cheese up in a blender adding our desired spices and then spread it out on the mats. It takes a few hours to make, but it is so easy.
After posting, we discovered that you can buy accessory trays for your dehydrator to make fruit leather. These will be perfect for chips. We also just discovered adding a little grated cheese to the blender makes the chips a better consistency.@@ketotwins
@@beverlycleaveland9994 We purchased additional 'fruit leather' inserts to replace the silicone mats. We set the temp to 165 degrees and the time to 4-6 hours. Periodically we change the position of the racks. We have experimented with lots of different variations. The one that sounds weird but turned out the best is adding chorizo! We precook the chorizo and then add it to the blender. The texture of the cottage cheese chorizo chips is similar to Doritos. Wishing you the best.
I like the one giant chip idea....as a crispy pizza crust! I tried the egg white pizza crust you recommended, and it was really good. But I haven't managed to get a crispy crust, so maybe a blend of whipped egg whites and cottage cheese in the microwave will work. I'll let you know once I get around to trying this. :)
I enjoy watching all your videos so thanks. I had bought a large container of cottage cheese at Sam's club. When I tried to make the chips the cottage cheese was so (moist) that I had to keep wiping the moisture out of the microwave. The next time I made only four chips at a time and I added shredded parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and some cyan pepper. They were great!
The potato flakes make all the difference!!! After a couple of tries, what worked best for me in terms of delivering flavor AND crispness… I blended the cottage cheese with seasonings (1 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp granulated garlic) and then I stirred in 1 TBS of Betty Crocker Sour Cream and Chives instant potatoes. I did try adding the instant potatoes and blending it with the cottage cheese, but the result was crispy chips with hallow centers. Excellent crispy chips and great flavor!! I’m going to try adding other flavors of instant potatoes, i.e, four cheese, roasted garlic, etc. These chips are the perfect vehicle for dips!! I make a homemade Boursin cheese and it’s amazing on these chips! I’m in heaven!!!
I saw on cooking at Pam place, shorts, a recipe for the cottage cheese and everything bagel to make a cc chip. She used baking sheet, parchment paper. Ice cream scoop, cottage cheese onto the parchment, sprinkle with everything bagel. Put in oven for 30 min, 375. ( check after 15 min cause not sure right time. Let them cool completely for the best crisp.
You two just brighten the day🌞Thanks for your willingness to experiment & improve upon what we're all trying to do~ which is to improve our health & wellness, while still being able to enjoy what we eat. Well done Sarah & Emily💞~ we sure appreciate your efforts!
I used eat it on toast with coconut oil instead of butter. I love how you try different ways to cook a recipe and are like mad scientist in the kitchen 😆 My son and I used to do that and it was a lot of fun.
@@ironrose888Great way to teach a child how to cook! I did the same with all 4 of our kids. They all like to cook (and are good cooks). Our youngest (he is 27) is the most daring with mixing things together. Makes this momma proud!
For people who don’t remember what they bought their nutritional yeast for, I bought it to replace grated ( green jar) parmesan cheese. I sprinkle on pasta, steamed veggies etc. I use it in salads & salty foods. It doesn’t take much. I sprinkle on to taste.
Great idea! Actually, all of those look super yummy. I'm thinking of experimenting with sprinkling the seasonings on top of the wet cheese spoonfuls before cooking to see if the powder sticks better. Thanks for another fun & helpful videos!
I have thought of all of these things, I just never actually tried them and now you have made a video that makes me feel like you've read my mind. I"m loving this community and their great ideas. I have a round silicon mat already and I love nutritional yeast on popcorn. You can never use too much onion powder. Lesson learned about the center, LOL Looks like Y'all make low carb Pringles
The best cottage cheese that I found to use is bowl & baskets. My favorite to recipes are One cup of cottage cheese 1 - 2 tbsp of ranch seasoning The second one is very addicting especially if you like barbecue chips. One cup of cottage cheese 1tbsp of mesquite BBQ seasoning from McCormick Half a teaspoon of Memphis style BBQ seasoning from supreme tradition. Everybody loves that barbecue one.
I have to tell you - I have made the cottage cheese chips (BUT in my microwave only) I LOVE THEM! I have modified them a little though. I use 2/3 full fat cottage cheese, and about 1/4 cup pork rind panco. I put those ingredients in my food processor OR use a submersible blender - then add spices. I also use a little SF chili powder - but a lot of spices will work. (like garlic powder, onion powder, chili/lime, SF dry ranch seasoning, etc) I cook mine one at a time in microwave for big chip which can be broken, for 1 min 20 seconds (more or less) *Also, I have found there is no need to spread the chip "batter" I just put my dollop of cottage cheese on and microwave.
Just tried the chips with the instant potato. (My egg salad was the dip.) Magnificent! Now I need to see if I can use the oven to make them. My microwave is very small and only 750 watts. It takes 6.5 minutes to make 4 chips, so I will be trying the oven. 😁
I used Idahoan Loaded Baked Mashed Potatoes. Yes, lots of preservatives and mystery ingredients, but the mix of flavors (sour cream, cheese, onion, chives, bacon and butter) made a great chip. Worth it for the occasional treat.
Love these new ideas! I'm curious if resistant potato starch would also work well for the "mashed potato" version. Thanks for sharing your experiments!
I don't actually think it would, at least in terms of taste, I've worked with resistant potato starch before and it's very refined and powdery. It doesn't taste like potato at all. It would definitely stabilize the chip though!
Also add some taco seasoning with a cheddar powder in the mix--Nacho flavor?? Maybe make the potatoes Mashed first which will not absorb so much of the cottage cheese and maybe will come out thinner? Awesome stuff ladies!!! GJ!! Thanks!
I just did this and it was amazing. I used clean cottage cheese, added the zanthum gum, and the Johnny's parm garlic seasoning. I did not blend just stirred well. Put on a cut Silicone mat. Microwaved for 5 min. SO GOOD!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU 😊
I put Nutritional Yeast on just about everything I cook. Eggs, Veggies, Meat. Not only does it add flavor and depth, but there are some weight loss and nutritional benefits as well!
I use it on everything I would put parmesan cheese on, even in addition to parmesan cheese. Plus shrimp, tuna, and chicken salad. Roasted veggies are so good with this sprinkled on top too, and it's great for thickening soups!
You could also try potato fibre it seems to be easy to get over there not so much in the uk it’s not the potato starch that’s high in carbs it’s just the potato fibre
I love to watch your experimental videos.I learn lots from you and I appreciate that you don’t hesitate to try things for the first time on the video even if the experiment doesn’t turn out perfect. thank you😊
I use blended cottage cheese for anything that asks for yogurt or sour cream. Easy way to blend is to use a stick blender right in the cottage cheese container. :)
Thanks for this KTTK (Keto Twins Test Kitchen) episode! I miss potato, but I'd be concerned about binging on your "potato" chips! My body seems to be sensitive to even small amounts of carbs. All the other ones could be a wonderful treat!
I took some cottage cheese and added some Splenda brown sugar, a little coconut flour ( to give it body) and some Keto Chow Pecan Sticky Bun powder for flavor..it was wonderful. So exact measurements, sorry.
WOW! So excited to try these hacks! A suggestion: when making the one giant chip, maybe spread the mixture in a giant donut shape, avoiding the middle part that always seems to burn. I’m assuming you wind up throwing the burnt section away. So this would avoid wasting some of your mixture. Love you gals! Thanks for all your hard work to bring us these awesome recipes! 🥰
I just love your channel.. Content is great and you are both so entertaining. There are only 2 channels (out of probably 50 subscriptions) where I have notifications turned on and watch every single video that comes out and yours is one of them!
You guys crack me up. I'm so glad I found you! I started my low-carb venture last month and failed. Am starting over. I learned I need to be set up. Prepared. I am new to your channel so don't know all you may have done. One thing I really need is something sweetish to have with my coffee first thing in the morning. Something quick. Easy. No fuss. Not too sweet. (A bran muffin) In my old world would be perfect. I was wondering if you could make something out of those ' hemp hearts'. And also, do those seasonings for crackers have to be ordered on line? Or can I find them in stores? Love love you and what your teaching! ❤
you inspired me to try this, only I didn't have instant potato, so I used 1/2 tsp corn meal, added chili powder, onion & garlic powder, cayenne pepper to 2 Tbsp of cottage cheese, 2 Tbsp of ricotta cheese. turned out great! Thanks! love you guys!
I bet adding powdered low carb milk will work great too. It's what restaurant's use as an add in to make their whip cream stand up and last longer, and that works great.
I made a protein chip out of protein soup mix made by accident. It was pretty similar to a rice cake but it was protein powder (chicken soup flavored), fiber, an egg white and water. I used a silicone mold and it was delicious
Ooo, you just reminded me! I used to add about a quarter to a half cup of instant potato flakes to my cauliflower mash before I went keto and it always made it taste so much better! 😂 It helped soak up some of the extra moisture in the cauliflower mash as well! I might just have to experiment with that again!
@@siddie27there are so many times that I've caught myself saying thank goodness I kept that box of instant mashed potatoes😂😂 at least before I went keto. 😂😂
Hi girls! I absolutely love this video! I love nutritional yeast, and for years, used it as a topping on my popcorn, beginning back in the 80’s. Wow! Sarah! Great idea on utilizing mashed potato flakes! Adding it onto my grocery list for today. I especially loved that you were able to use another brand of cottage cheese, rather than just using TJ’s cottage cheese. I truly appreciate you both. Your recipes are amazing! Thank youuuuuu! ❤❤
My dear Emily and Sara I had some ideas for you on the chips , sesame seeds, cheddar powder , green onion, rosemary, Parmesan from the box Kraft , crushed pepper, think about tiny chopped pepperoni , Lipton onion dip powder ,poppy seeds celery seed,go crazy girls I love you guys!
Thank you for this experiment. I love the viral cottage cheese chips and I'm eager to experiment more. BTY, Silpat warns to never cut a silicone mat. They say: "mats should never be greased, cut, torn, used as a cutting mat, or folded. Cutting the mat may introduce fiberglass mesh particles into your food."
? Do you even understand how silicon is made. This is a not a thing. Sorry, to all the 'round' silicon mat manufacturers and sellers but this is just marketing. Snip away people and move on. 👍🏻
I've seen a video comparing veggies that could replace potatoes as French fries, and that one suggested that baked red radishes had the closest flavor and texture. I wonder if adding some of those would work.
I think the radishes would add too much water if added raw. Maybe slice thin and microwae on papertowels to dry them out completely or dehydrate if you have a dehydrater
@@sonshinehomesteader2762 There is fiberglass embedded in the product and cutting it could expose food to the glass fibers as they are no longer sealed in in manufacturing. I'd think, based on nothing, if you cut it, then just try to keep food from coming into contact with the edges, but if the cuts are in the center ( Like if your friend uses a pizza cutter on it... ) then it might be safer to discard and purchase a new one in the shape and size needed.
My thoughts as well. Glad you ladies got round ones. Thanks got the great chip recipes! Can’t wait to try them! I was not pleased with my first try on the original chips you did. Keep up the great job ideas!
You guys are really funny! Of all the keto channels I’ve been through I really dig you guys the best! Thanks for all the great ideas as I am new to keto and like you guys, it’s really helped me lose an amazing amount of weight! Thanks guys keep up the good work!
If you like adding your flavorings afterward, try popcorn salt for finer salt texture. I'm not sure how "clean" the flavored salts are, but those might work too
Was having no success with several brands of cottage cheese...added a small amount of xanthum gum and it worked...will have to experiment and come up with how much to use,,,i just guessed with 1/4 tsp with cheese i had left...maybe 1/4 cup.
Wow you can really hear the crunch! I like that it's kind of serving sized portioned out already too. I'm wondering if you used the instant potatoes that already have sour cream or cheddar flavor how that might work? I'm definitely going to try with some garlic and red pepper flakes.😊
Just got finished making and eating these. Fortunately, my daughter had some instant potatoes, so I was able to experiment with them. My husband, who is Ketovore, liked the ones with the potato flakes best, as they were more sturdy. I tried some with half the potato flakes and they ended up being not quite as sturdy, so I’d go for the full amount if I was going to use them at all. All three of us liked all the versions I made and agreed that they’re worth making again. Thanks for testing these again, as I probably wouldn’t’ve made them again after making them after the first video!! 🤗😋🤗
@@ketotwins Oh, and I forgot to mention that I also tried Parmesan cheese. Like the potato flakes, it was more sturdy, so it would also be a good ingredient to add, although not for the potato taste. So, for those on low carb/keto and those carnivores who don’t mind straying a bit on occasion to get the potato-y taste they may crave, the potato flakes are da bomb, and for those who are staying strict and don’t miss the potato-y flavor, maybe adding some Parmesan will help give the chips the sturdiness needed for dipping.
cutting silicon mats is not recommended as that have a fiber glass layer. I have a round silicon mat intended for for Pizza. However, it is perforated and might now work with the chips.
I tried the cottage cheese chip with I tablespoon of powdered mashed potato and loved it 😍. I also ate them with your rangoon dip. Chip held up real well😊
I just want to say I love your sweet personalities and I always have a giggle watching you. You guys be who you are and pay no attention to nay sayers ♥️♥️♥️
I'm also considering for a special occasion, rolling, freezing and cutting the chip shape batter and then frying them in lard at high temp. I have no idea if they'll hold together - but it might be work a try, lol

Did they hold up enough to use in guacamole dip?
6 minutes in the microwave?🤯
At what power? Mine would burn at 1 minute and 15 seconds.

A long time ago, I used to blend cottage cheese with cinnamon and sweetener (to taste) and have that for dessert. It tasted like cheesecake to me!
That sounds interesting.
I add sf jello 😊 to cottage cheese
I discovered this the other day. It reminded me of a weight watcher snack they used to sell!
How about flavored mashed potatoes like loaded or sour cream chive

PS you guys are wonderful!
Ty! So glad you liked them ❤️❤️
I can't wait to try this my suggestion is to have two mats so while one is cooling you can have one cooking and it would go a lot quicker😂
I wonder if adding bbq rubs would make them taste like bbq chips
Yummmm
I was wondering the same thing.
Or a little sugar free bbq sauce
I did this today ...I added a tsp of Blazen Bourbon "Sweet" Heat BBQ rub (0 carbs) and it was very good!
Hit my sweet spot with bbq flavour! Great suggestions!!! Nom nom nom nom 🤗🐈

I always add the yeast to my microwave popcorn... I feel a little healthier eating it that way lol...

Another idea - add a bit of baking soda to neutralize CC's sourness (if the one you have is tangy/sour, that is).
Thank you. I don't like cottage cheese. So I will try this. I've tried adding cottage cheese to baked goods and homemade crackers but I always taste the cottage cheese.
@@madeleine1138 try using ricotta
These were great!! I am doing dirty carnivore so I didn’t have the keto ingredients; added 1 TBL of brewers yeast to the blended daisy cottage cheese and then topped with everything but the bagel seasoning and WOW!!! Loved it!!! Thanks for all you do you two- love the channel and the fun.
I wonder how sour cream nd onion dip added to the cottage cheese and potato would work? Hummm
Add the potato flakes during the blending process.
I make chips in the microwave with shredded mozzarella. For flavored chips I've tried bacon bits, jalapeños, and "everything but the bagel" seasoning
After a few tries with different ingredients, my husband and I like this combo. I put in small food processor like someone has mentioned:1/2 C. Cottage cheese- 2 tsp instant taters- 1 heaping T of Nutritional Yeast and a little sprinkle of salt on each dollop. Only nuked for 3 1/2 minutes. Perfectly crispy!
It might be my round silicone mat (said was for pizza when I bought) but my very first batch leaked through and after that I put parchment paper under it.
Thank you 2 girlies for such wonderful recipes!!!
Helps on our journey to stay healthy!!
We have been making ours in our dehydrator. They turn out crispy and are easier than making them in the microwave. We took the suggestion of using a silicone mat instead of parchment paper, placing a mat on each of of our dehydrator shelves. We mix our cottage cheese up in a blender adding our desired spices and then spread it out on the mats. It takes a few hours to make, but it is so easy.
We need to buy one of those!!
After posting, we discovered that you can buy accessory trays for your dehydrator to make fruit leather. These will be perfect for chips. We also just discovered adding a little grated cheese to the blender makes the chips a better consistency.@@ketotwins
What temp did you set your dehydrator to and for how long? Thanks!
@@beverlycleaveland9994 We purchased additional 'fruit leather' inserts to replace the silicone mats. We set the temp to 165 degrees and the time to 4-6 hours. Periodically we change the position of the racks. We have experimented with lots of different variations. The one that sounds weird but turned out the best is adding chorizo! We precook the chorizo and then add it to the blender. The texture of the cottage cheese chorizo chips is similar to Doritos. Wishing you the best.
Can wait to try the potato flakes in mine!
I use a dollop of cream cheese style onion chip dip in my blended cottage cheese for flavor.. I like it!!
Great idea!!
I like the one giant chip idea....as a crispy pizza crust! I tried the egg white pizza crust you recommended, and it was really good. But I haven't managed to get a crispy crust, so maybe a blend of whipped egg whites and cottage cheese in the microwave will work. I'll let you know once I get around to trying this. :)
😱👏🏻👏🏻
I enjoy watching all your videos so thanks. I had bought a large container of cottage cheese at Sam's club. When I tried to make the chips the cottage cheese was so (moist) that I had to keep wiping the moisture out of the microwave. The next time I made only four chips at a time and I added shredded parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and some cyan pepper. They were great!
Sorry, I said I added shredded parmesan but it is actually grated parmesan cheese.
The potato flakes make all the difference!!! After a couple of tries, what worked best for me in terms of delivering flavor AND crispness… I blended the cottage cheese with seasonings (1 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp granulated garlic) and then I stirred in 1 TBS of Betty Crocker Sour Cream and Chives instant potatoes. I did try adding the instant potatoes and blending it with the cottage cheese, but the result was crispy chips with hallow centers. Excellent crispy chips and great flavor!! I’m going to try adding other flavors of instant potatoes, i.e, four cheese, roasted garlic, etc. These chips are the perfect vehicle for dips!! I make a homemade Boursin cheese and it’s amazing on these chips! I’m in heaven!!!
@@louk2204 i thought the potato flakes were not keto ?
@@seekerofgrace2058 well they do have carbs but the amount used is small … one has to choose for themselves if they want to go there 🙂
I saw on cooking at Pam place, shorts, a recipe for the cottage cheese and everything bagel to make a cc chip. She used baking sheet, parchment paper. Ice cream scoop, cottage cheese onto the parchment, sprinkle with everything bagel. Put in oven for 30 min, 375. ( check after 15 min cause not sure right time. Let them cool completely for the best crisp.
You two just brighten the day🌞Thanks for your willingness to experiment & improve upon what we're all trying to do~ which is to improve our health & wellness, while still being able to enjoy what we eat. Well done Sarah & Emily💞~ we sure appreciate your efforts!
Thanks for watching and supporting us over the years! ❤️❤️
Nutritional yeast is so good for you as well. I used to love it on popcorn before keto.
I used eat it on toast with coconut oil instead of butter.
I love how you try different ways to cook a recipe and are like mad scientist in the kitchen 😆 My son and I used to do that and it was a lot of fun.
@@ironrose888Great way to teach a child how to cook!
I did the same with all 4 of our kids. They all like to cook (and are good cooks).
Our youngest (he is 27) is the most daring with mixing things together.
Makes this momma proud!
For people who don’t remember what they bought their nutritional yeast for, I bought it to replace grated ( green jar) parmesan cheese. I sprinkle on pasta, steamed veggies etc. I use it in salads & salty foods. It doesn’t take much. I sprinkle on to taste.
The ones with onion powder reminded me of French fried onion rings. I also used 1 teaspoon onion powder. 😋
I always add 1 tbsp of potato to a cup of cauliflower mash, it does wonders to both flavor and texture
I do too.
I’ve tried that as well. It’s ok tasting, but keep in mind you’re adding 5-7 carbs with each tablespoon of potato. It’s a trade off for sure.
I've learned to plan for cheats that are worth it to me.@@susana3226
too many carbs to add potato
Great idea! Actually, all of those look super yummy. I'm thinking of experimenting with sprinkling the seasonings on top of the wet cheese spoonfuls before cooking to see if the powder sticks better. Thanks for another fun & helpful videos!
Or sprinkled underneath the dollops maybe
@@SallyGreenaway BOTH!!!
I have thought of all of these things, I just never actually tried them and now you have made a video that makes me feel like you've read my mind. I"m loving this community and their great ideas.
I have a round silicon mat already and I love nutritional yeast on popcorn. You can never use too much onion powder.
Lesson learned about the center, LOL
Looks like Y'all make low carb Pringles
I love your channel! Good recipes and you're genuine. Fraternal hugs going your way!
Awww thank you! That’s so kind to say!
I have thought about adding a spoon of instant potatoes to califlower fritters or cauliflower casserole! This is a great idea!
Use the chive cottage cheese!! I have some in my fridge for this !
I added sour cream to the cottage cheese and onion and it was delicious too.
Good idea!
The best cottage cheese that I found to use is bowl & baskets.
My favorite to recipes are
One cup of cottage cheese
1 - 2 tbsp of ranch seasoning
The second one is very addicting especially if you like barbecue chips.
One cup of cottage cheese
1tbsp of mesquite BBQ seasoning from McCormick
Half a teaspoon of Memphis style BBQ seasoning from supreme tradition.
Everybody loves that barbecue one.
@@screamtoasigh9984 yes it's the store brand in my area. But I'm sure it's sold elsewhere to
ShopRite Bowl & Basket? Awesome, thanks!!
@dianemcgrath5572 add some cheddar cheese too even better
I have to tell you - I have made the cottage cheese chips (BUT in my microwave only) I LOVE THEM! I have modified them a little though. I use 2/3 full fat cottage cheese, and about 1/4 cup pork rind panco. I put those ingredients in my food processor OR use a submersible blender - then add spices. I also use a little SF chili powder - but a lot of spices will work. (like garlic powder, onion powder, chili/lime, SF dry ranch seasoning, etc) I cook mine one at a time in microwave for big chip which can be broken, for 1 min 20 seconds (more or less) *Also, I have found there is no need to spread the chip "batter" I just put my dollop of cottage cheese on and microwave.
Great job Sarah for thinking of this! You guys are awesome! 💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
🤗🤗🤗
Just tried the chips with the instant potato. (My egg salad was the dip.) Magnificent!
Now I need to see if I can use the oven to make them. My microwave is very small and only 750 watts. It takes 6.5 minutes to make 4 chips, so I will be trying the oven. 😁
Using them with egg salad is a great idea!!!
That’s what I want to do, try it in the oven but not sure what temp.
Please update if you try it. I don’t have a microwave oven.
I used Idahoan Loaded Baked Mashed Potatoes. Yes, lots of preservatives and mystery ingredients, but the mix of flavors (sour cream, cheese, onion, chives, bacon and butter) made a great chip. Worth it for the occasional treat.
Another fantastic video Twins. Can't wait to make these and make my own blends. You two are so much fun to watch,. I love the test kitchen videos.
Love these new ideas! I'm curious if resistant potato starch would also work well for the "mashed potato" version. Thanks for sharing your experiments!
Thats an interesting thought!
I don't actually think it would, at least in terms of taste, I've worked with resistant potato starch before and it's very refined and powdery. It doesn't taste like potato at all. It would definitely stabilize the chip though!
WOW! It was the sound of that crunch that did it, yum!
Super crunchy!
Also add some taco seasoning with a cheddar powder in the mix--Nacho flavor?? Maybe make the potatoes Mashed first which will not absorb so much of the cottage cheese and maybe will come out thinner? Awesome stuff ladies!!! GJ!! Thanks!
I just did this and it was amazing. I used clean cottage cheese, added the zanthum gum, and the Johnny's parm garlic seasoning. I did not blend just stirred well. Put on a cut Silicone mat. Microwaved for 5 min. SO GOOD!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU 😊
I put Nutritional Yeast on just about everything I cook. Eggs, Veggies, Meat. Not only does it add flavor and depth, but there are some weight loss and nutritional benefits as well!
I add to our dinner salad. Yum!!
I use it on everything I would put parmesan cheese on, even in addition to parmesan cheese. Plus shrimp, tuna, and chicken salad. Roasted veggies are so good with this sprinkled on top too, and it's great for thickening soups!
Good to know. Thanks’😊
After a few years of doing the same.. cooking with nutritional yeast.. I find it loses its nutritional goodness when heated.
@@bmdwell3882 I generally do not heat mine...I use it as a topping
You could also try potato fibre it seems to be easy to get over there not so much in the uk it’s not the potato starch that’s high in carbs it’s just the potato fibre
I love to watch your experimental videos.I learn lots from you and I appreciate that you don’t hesitate to try things for the first time on the video even if the experiment doesn’t turn out perfect. thank you😊
I use blended cottage cheese for anything that asks for yogurt or sour cream. Easy way to blend is to use a stick blender right in the cottage cheese container. :)
I finally tried LMNT! Got the free sample as well with your code. I am pleasantly surprised. Just what I need in this Texas heat. Many thanks! 😎👍🏻
Glad you like it!!
Thanks for this KTTK (Keto Twins Test Kitchen) episode! I miss potato, but I'd be concerned about binging on your "potato" chips! My body seems to be sensitive to even small amounts of carbs. All the other ones could be a wonderful treat!
I took some cottage cheese and added some Splenda brown sugar, a little coconut flour ( to give it body) and some Keto Chow Pecan Sticky Bun powder for flavor..it was wonderful. So exact measurements, sorry.
What is keto chow? I see it in recipes, but don’t understand what it is
WOW! So excited to try these hacks! A suggestion: when making the one giant chip, maybe spread the mixture in a giant donut shape, avoiding the middle part that always seems to burn. I’m assuming you wind up throwing the burnt section away. So this would avoid wasting some of your mixture. Love you gals! Thanks for all your hard work to bring us these awesome recipes! 🥰
That’s what I was thinking!
@@stephanieilluzzi7355 thanks for the idea.
I just love your channel.. Content is great and you are both so entertaining. There are only 2 channels (out of probably 50 subscriptions) where I have notifications turned on and watch every single video that comes out and yours is one of them!
Aww thanks so kind of you to say! Thanks so much!
You guys crack me up. I'm so glad I found you! I started my low-carb venture last month and failed. Am starting over. I learned I need to be set up. Prepared. I am new to your channel so don't know all you may have done. One thing I really need is something sweetish to have with my coffee first thing in the morning. Something quick. Easy. No fuss. Not too sweet. (A bran muffin) In my old world would be perfect. I was wondering if you could make something out of those ' hemp hearts'. And also, do those seasonings for crackers have to be ordered on line? Or can I find them in stores? Love love you and what your teaching! ❤
you inspired me to try this, only I didn't have instant potato, so I used 1/2 tsp corn meal, added chili powder, onion & garlic powder, cayenne pepper to 2 Tbsp of cottage cheese, 2 Tbsp of ricotta cheese. turned out great! Thanks! love you guys!
Awesome earl! Thanks for sharing!!
I bet adding powdered low carb milk will work great too. It's what restaurant's use as an add in to make their whip cream stand up and last longer, and that works great.
I wonder how powdered buttermilk would work? I have it for my homemade powdered ranch mix.
Brilliant recipe! Also the reason why the middle burns in the microwave is because it doesn't move about as much.
WONDERFUL JOB LADIES!😃👍😃👍 Can't wait to try these with taco seasoning,too! Have a blessed week 💜🙏✌️🌞💐🎶
I made a protein chip out of protein soup mix made by accident. It was pretty similar to a rice cake but it was protein powder (chicken soup flavored), fiber, an egg white and water. I used a silicone mold and it was delicious
OMG. Thank you! If there's anything I miss, it's a salty crunch. These are so easy and versatile. Just what I needed.
I just blended the cottage cheese, added a tsp of everything bagel seasoning, and oops, did cut a silicone mat. came out great!
I feel like there are so many recipes that a smidge of instant mashed potatoes would help.
Hmmm- I think you’re right-now I’m starting to think there was a reason I kept that box of instant potatoes!
Ooo, you just reminded me! I used to add about a quarter to a half cup of instant potato flakes to my cauliflower mash before I went keto and it always made it taste so much better! 😂 It helped soak up some of the extra moisture in the cauliflower mash as well! I might just have to experiment with that again!
@@siddie27there are so many times that I've caught myself saying thank goodness I kept that box of instant mashed potatoes😂😂 at least before I went keto. 😂😂
I add some to my mashed cauliflower.
Great idea
I added 1 tablespoon of tapioca flour and blitzed it in a blender along with the flavourings. I also made a batch using sesame powder
Whole Foods has a nacho flavored nutritional yeast flavor, which I will definitely be trying out :D
I also use a bit of instant mashed potato to make gravy. Usually sour cream plus a tbs of instant mash to thicken.
Hi girls! I absolutely love this video! I love nutritional yeast, and for years, used it as a topping on my popcorn, beginning back in the 80’s. Wow! Sarah! Great idea on utilizing mashed potato flakes! Adding it onto my grocery list for today. I especially loved that you were able to use another brand of cottage cheese, rather than just using TJ’s cottage cheese. I truly appreciate you both. Your recipes are amazing! Thank youuuuuu! ❤❤
I could see using the mashed potato addition for the thicker chip as a basis for a version of potato skins!
My dear Emily and Sara I had some ideas for you on the chips , sesame seeds, cheddar powder , green onion, rosemary, Parmesan from the box Kraft , crushed pepper, think about tiny chopped pepperoni , Lipton onion dip powder ,poppy seeds celery seed,go crazy girls I love you guys!
Thank you for this experiment. I love the viral cottage cheese chips and I'm eager to experiment more. BTY, Silpat warns to never cut a silicone mat. They say: "mats should never be greased, cut, torn, used as a cutting mat, or folded. Cutting the mat may introduce fiberglass mesh particles into your food."
thanks for telling us about this! we just bought some round ones and pinned a comment about letting others know to just buy a round one instead!
@@ketotwins Thanks! I just ordered a round silicone mat to try these chips again! Love all your experiments!
@@dianafoot thanks for watching!
? Do you even understand how silicon is made. This is a not a thing. Sorry, to all the 'round' silicon mat manufacturers and sellers but this is just marketing. Snip away people and move on. 👍🏻
I've seen a video comparing veggies that could replace potatoes as French fries, and that one suggested that baked red radishes had the closest flavor and texture. I wonder if adding some of those would work.
I think the radishes would add too much water if added raw. Maybe slice thin and microwae on papertowels to dry them out completely or dehydrate if you have a dehydrater
A few people have brought it to our attention that you are not supposed to cut silmats! Thanks for letting us know
Why aren't you supposed to cut them? I cut mine too! 😳😬
@@sonshinehomesteader2762 There is fiberglass embedded in the product and cutting it could expose food to the glass fibers as they are no longer sealed in in manufacturing. I'd think, based on nothing, if you cut it, then just try to keep food from coming into contact with the edges, but if the cuts are in the center ( Like if your friend uses a pizza cutter on it... ) then it might be safer to discard and purchase a new one in the shape and size needed.
My thoughts as well. Glad you ladies got round ones.
Thanks got the great chip recipes! Can’t wait to try them!
I was not pleased with my first try on the original chips you did.
Keep up the great job ideas!
Yikes! I already had round ones I bought for a Serious Keto tortilla recipe.
You can trim or cut teflon baking sheets but you can't cut silicone ones.
A Suggestion: Next time blend all your spices or extra ingredients with the cottage cheese in the blender. You will see a smother difference...
You guys are really funny! Of all the keto channels I’ve been through I really dig you guys the best! Thanks for all the great ideas as I am new to keto and like you guys, it’s really helped me lose an amazing amount of weight! Thanks guys keep up the good work!
Great idea adding the instant potato flakes! Love that you tested out all the tips others sent you also!
If you like adding your flavorings afterward, try popcorn salt for finer salt texture. I'm not sure how "clean" the flavored salts are, but those might work too
Was having no success with several brands of cottage cheese...added a small amount of xanthum gum and it worked...will have to experiment and come up with how much to use,,,i just guessed with 1/4 tsp with cheese i had left...maybe 1/4 cup.
Wow you can really hear the crunch! I like that it's kind of serving sized portioned out already too. I'm wondering if you used the instant potatoes that already have sour cream or cheddar flavor how that might work? I'm definitely going to try with some garlic and red pepper flakes.😊
That’s an intriguing idea!
Just got finished making and eating these. Fortunately, my daughter had some instant potatoes, so I was able to experiment with them. My husband, who is Ketovore, liked the ones with the potato flakes best, as they were more sturdy. I tried some with half the potato flakes and they ended up being not quite as sturdy, so I’d go for the full amount if I was going to use them at all. All three of us liked all the versions I made and agreed that they’re worth making again.
Thanks for testing these again, as I probably wouldn’t’ve made them again after making them after the first video!! 🤗😋🤗
🤗🤗🤗 so glad you liked them and tested the amount of flakes! We will keep note of that because we were curious
@@ketotwins Oh, and I forgot to mention that I also tried Parmesan cheese. Like the potato flakes, it was more sturdy, so it would also be a good ingredient to add, although not for the potato taste. So, for those on low carb/keto and those carnivores who don’t mind straying a bit on occasion to get the potato-y taste they may crave, the potato flakes are da bomb, and for those who are staying strict and don’t miss the potato-y flavor, maybe adding some Parmesan will help give the chips the sturdiness needed for dipping.
Love the instant potato tip (1 year later) thank you Ladies!!😘😘
Flavored instant mashed potatoes like loaded and this recipes..I'm going to try it! Thanks for the video!😊❤
cutting silicon mats is not recommended as that have a fiber glass layer. I have a round silicon mat intended for for Pizza. However, it is perforated and might now work with the chips.
thanks for letting us know! we pinned a comment so others will see it
FYI try Everything Bagel seasoning to the potatoe one tastes like loaded baked potatoe chip.Enjoy!
I tried the cottage cheese chip with I tablespoon of powdered mashed potato and loved it 😍. I also ate them with your rangoon dip. Chip held up real well😊
I just want to say I love your sweet personalities and I always have a giggle watching you. You guys be who you are and pay no attention to nay sayers ♥️♥️♥️
Aw thanks so much Cathy!
I'm also considering for a special occasion, rolling, freezing and cutting the chip shape batter and then frying them in lard at high temp. I have no idea if they'll hold together - but it might be work a try, lol
Keto chow just came out with loaded potato soup. You should try that in the chips. Less carbs?
interesting idea! thanks we will check it out
Don't see that flavor on Amazon
