Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

  2. 2

    Soak the Slices

    Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Slices

    Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

  7. 7

    Load the Chips

    On a serving platter, layer the fried chips and top them with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, sliced jalapeños, and guacamole.
