Potato Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Slice Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Soak Potato Slices

    Place the potato slices 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.

Frying

  1. 3

    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 deep-frying thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 4

    Dry Potato Slices

    After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible to prevent oil splatter.

  3. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Working in small batches, carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still warm, sprinkle the chips with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a side with your favorite sub or as a crispy snack on their own.
