Potato Chips
Method
Preparation

- 3
Soak Potato Slices
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier chips.
Cooking
- 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). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 6
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- 8
Season the Chips
While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt and any optional seasonings to taste, tossing gently to coat evenly.
- 9
Repeat the Process
Continue frying the remaining potato slices in batches until all are cooked. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
