Potato Chips

Method

Potato Chips Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Potatoes

    Wash and slice the Russet potatoes into thin, even rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato slices in small batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
