Yes, the calories are for the whole batch. I think in this case the serving size depends from person to person :).
The potatoes are boiled to lower starch level and to give them a better flavor and texture. Hope you liked them if you already tried this recipe.
I was not necessarily trying to make chips with no oil, i was trying not to fry them in deep oil, and yes to avoid preservatives. 3 tbsp of oil is around 360 calories,(not over 400 ) but you can add less or none if that pleases you more. This recipe is more about the technique, the fact that it is important to boil them for few minutes and only then to bake them. They should be good with no oil too, didn't;t try yet, I am not so afraid about oil in general, if used with moderation. If you try them with noi oil , before me, let me know, I am curious how they are:)
Yes, after the potatoes cool they get the texture of chip more, actually they get pretty crispy. Also is important for the slices not to be too thick either. Thank you for letting me know you cooked them with no oil. Good to know you can do either way.
I don't think you necessarily did something wrong, maybe the slices were too thin, or the water was boiling too hard, or the potatoes were not the right ones. I use red potatoes, that are not breaking, and keep their shape better.
Let me know how they turned for you.
