Chips Regular Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Slice the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispiness.

3. 3

   Dry the Potatoes

   Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Chips

   Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Drain and Season

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Cape Cod original chips!
