Method

Potato Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potato Slices

    Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps in achieving crispy chips.

  3. 3

    Dry the Slices

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate temperature.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Season the Chips

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

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container if not consumed immediately.

Alternative Chips

  1. 8

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the kale leaves and remove the tough stems. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 9

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. 10

    Toss with Olive Oil

    In a large bowl, drizzle the kale leaves with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and nutritional yeast. Toss until the leaves are evenly coated.

  4. 11

    Bake the Chips

    Spread the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the leaves are crispy but not burnt.

  5. 12

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy your healthy kale chips immediately or store in an airtight container.
