FAQs
Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese instead?
Yes, but whole milk cottage cheese tends to produce crispier chips with better flavor due to its higher fat content.
How do I prevent the chips from sticking to the parchment paper?
Ensure the parchment paper is completely flat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil if needed. Spreading the mixture thinly also helps with easy removal.
