Potato Chips

Method
Potato Chips
Soak the Slices
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean towel.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a single potato slice; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the Chips
Fry the potato slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to ensure even coating.
Cool and Serve
Let the chips cool completely before serving. Enjoy your homemade potato chips!
Tortilla Chips
Cut the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into wedges (like a pizza) to create triangle-shaped chips.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry the Chips
Fry the tortilla wedges in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per batch or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
Season the Chips
While still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste and toss to ensure even seasoning.
Cool and Serve
Allow the tortilla chips to cool before serving. Perfect for dipping or snacking!
