Potato Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly (about 1/16 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.

  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 remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Potato Slices

    Remove the potato slices from the water and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with sea salt and any optional seasonings of your choice.

  4. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. Store any leftover chips in an airtight container.
