Mesquite BBQ Seasoning
Method
Preparing the Potato Chips
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and help them crisp up during frying.
- 3
Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the water and pat the potato slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Frying the Chips
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain the Chips
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried potato chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Making the Mesquite BBQ Seasoning

Combine the Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and liquid smoke until well combined.
Seasoning the Chips

Season the Chips
