Irish Chips Recipe

Instructions for Making Irish Chips

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them become crispier when fried.

3. 3

   Dry the Potatoes

   After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove any moisture.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large, heavy 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, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. 6

   Season the Chips

   While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with sea salt and toss gently to coat. If desired, drizzle with vinegar for an extra tangy flavor.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the Irish chips warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
