Sweet Potato Chips with Peach Yogurt Dip (Weight Watchers Style)

After being on Weight Watchers for 9 weeks (today starts week 10), I've learned a lot able preparing foods in ways that makes them better for you &, believe it or not, better tasting!

Today, while looking around the kitchen for a lite snack, I discovered one, lonely sweet potato sitting in the veggie bowl.  I quickly pulled out my handy, dandy, WW cookbook & browsed through the pages until I discovered a recipe for sweet potato chips.  Immediately, I starting slicing & weighing. 

Once the potatoes were in the oven, it was time to come up with a yummy, low calorie dip.  The first thing that came to mind was the container of Greek, peach yogurt in the refrigerator.  With a few spices, it was made into a de-lite-ful dip :)

Sweet Potato Chips
(Makes 2 servings; 1 Point per serving)

Sweet Potato, 1/2 lb (about 1 large)
1/4 tsp. sugar
pinch of salt

Peel & thinly slice the potato.  Cover with sugar & salt.  Cover with cold water & allow to sit for 30 minutes.

Drain potatoes & lay in a single layer on a cookie sheet that's been sprayed with non-fat cooking spray. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake 35-40 minutes, turning frequently.  Don't worry if they're not crispy at first.  They will crisp up as they sit.

Meanwhile...

Peach Yogurt Dip
(Makes 2 servings; 1.5 Points per serving)

Chobani Greek Yogurt, peach flavored, 1 - 6 oz container
