Kettle Chips Recipe

Kettle Chips Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

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

2. 2

   Soak the Slices

   Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

4. 4

   Fry the Chips

   Remove the potato slices from the water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Drain and Season

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and any optional seasonings you desire.

6. 6

   Repeat and Serve

   Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices. Once all chips are cooked, serve them warm or let them cool before storing in an airtight container.
