Potato Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 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 Chips
Carefully add the potato slices in small batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.

Season the Chips
While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt, chili powder, and drizzle with lime juice. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- 7
Serve with Hot Sauce
Serve the chips warm with house hot sauce on the side for dipping.
