Kettle Chips Ingredients
Method
Kettle Chips Preparation
Soak the Slices
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and achieve crispier chips.
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.
Fry the Chips
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. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle with sea salt and any additional seasonings you desire. Toss gently to evenly coat the chips.
Cool and Serve
Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your homemade kettle chips!
