Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Potato Slices

    Place the potato slices in a bowl and cover them with white vinegar. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade salt and vinegar chips!
