Chips

Method

Preparing the Chips

  1. 1

    Slice the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly using a mandolin or a sharp knife to achieve even thickness.

  2. 2

    Soak the Slices

    Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help achieve a crispier texture.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the potato slices in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain the Chips

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. 7

    Season the Chips

    While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Zapp's Regular Chips!
