Potato Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.

Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chips.
- 5
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Season the Chips
