Potato Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispiness.
- 3
Prepare the Seasoning
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside for later use.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or a large deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispiness.
- 6
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
- 7
Drain and Season
Place the fried potato chips on a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the chips.
- 8
Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices, ensuring the oil returns to the correct temperature between batches.
