In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Boil the Mixture

Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Add the Flour

Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Incorporate Eggs

In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside for coating the churros.

Mix Sugar and Cinnamon

In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Heat the Oil

Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe 4-inch long strips of dough directly into the hot oil.

Pipe the Churros

Fry the churros for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.

Fry Until Golden

Remove the churros from the hot oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.

Thoroughly wash the potatoes under cold water. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.

Wash and Slice Potatoes

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier chips.

Soak the Potato Slices

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

Preheat the Oven

After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Dry the Potato Slices

In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.

Season the Chips

Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Arrange on Baking Sheet

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the chips halfway through, until they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Bake the Chips

Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving bowl. Enjoy your homemade chips!

Cool and Serve

Potatoes

Olive oil

Black pepper

Paprika

Begin by thoroughly washing all the vegetables. Peel the carrots and chop them into small bite-sized pieces. Remove the seeds from the bell peppers, then chop them into small squares. Cut the broccoli into small florets, and slice the zucchini into half-moons. Finally, dice the red onion into small pieces.

Chop the Vegetables

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped carrots, bell peppers, broccoli florets, sliced zucchini, and diced red onion. Toss the vegetables gently to ensure they are evenly mixed.

Mix the Vegetables

Sprinkle the mixed vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or your favorite dressing to enhance flavor, if desired.

Seasoning

If you prefer cooked veggies, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, then add the mixed veggies to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
