Potato Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Slice the Potatoes

    Begin by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potato Slices

    Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, making the chips crispier.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potato Slices

    After soaking, drain the potato slices and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove as much moisture as possible.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature, bringing it to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Potato Slices

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of potato slices to the pot, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry them in batches, cooking for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste while they are still hot.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve and Enjoy

    Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm alongside your favorite sub or as a standalone snack. Enjoy the satisfying crunch!
