FAQs

Can I use low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese?

Yes, but whole milk cottage cheese tends to yield crispier, richer-tasting chips due to its higher fat content.

How do I prevent the chips from being soggy?

Make sure to spread the mixture thinly and evenly on the baking sheet, and avoid excess moisture by patting the cottage cheese dry before baking.
