Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Start by washing the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and ensures crispiness.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potato slices and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep pot or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of the potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Season the Chips

    While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss gently to distribute the seasonings evenly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade side kettle chips as a snack or alongside your favorite meal!
