Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Dry the Potatoes

    After slicing, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is important to achieve crispy chips.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of potato into it; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

  2. 4

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chips for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  3. 5

    Season the Chips

    While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve and Enjoy

    Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or with your favorite dip!
