Home made Potato Chips – One of Four

You will need:

2 pounds medium-sized potatoes washed and scrubbed Oil for frying Salt to taste.

Method:

About an hour before cooking, slice the potatoes. To do this the easiest way, take a mandolin on the thinnest setting and carefully slice potatoes that have been washed and scrubbed.

Immediately place the sliced potatoes into a bowl filled with cold water. Let sit in the fridge for one hour in water. In a heavy bottom skillet, pour in oil so it is about 1-2 inches deep, or you can use a deep fryer.

Get the oil hot over medium heat to 375°F. Take about a dozen of the potato slices out of the water and pat dry with a paper towel, carefully, but quickly drop in potato slices into the hot oil. These take seconds to cook. Using tongs turn them over as soon as any browning occurs.With tongs, take them out of the oil and let drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt immediately.

Keep repeating the same process until all the potato chips are finished. Serve and enjoy!

Tips: Use seasoning salt for additional flavour.
