Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Slice Potatoes

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Let the sliced potatoes soak in the cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier chips.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid oil splattering during frying.

  3. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of dried potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm as a delicious snack or appetizer. Enjoy with your favorite dip!
