House Made Chips Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.

2. 2

   Soak the Slices

   Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3. 3

   Dry the Potatoes

   After soaking, drain the potatoes and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Chips

   Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain and Season

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

7. 7

   Repeat

   Continue frying the remaining potato slices in batches until all are cooked and seasoned.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the house-made chips warm as a snack or side dish.
