Kettle Chips Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Soak the Potato Slices

   Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.

3. 3

   Dry the Potatoes

   After soaking, drain the potatoes and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pat them dry to remove as much moisture as possible.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping in a slice of potato; it should sizzle immediately.

5. 5

   Fry the Chips

   Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Drain and Season

   Once the chips are done frying, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings you like.

7. 7

   Repeat

   Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices until all are cooked.

8. 8

   Serve

   Enjoy your homemade kettle chips warm or allow them to cool and store in an airtight container.
