Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- Salt, to taste
- Vegetable oil (or any neutral oil) for frying
Instructions
- Wash and optionally peel the potatoes based on your preference.
- Slice the potatoes very thin (about 1/16 inch) using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Rinse the slices under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Thoroughly pat the slices dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the potato slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While still hot, season with salt or your preferred seasonings.
- Let cool slightly before serving to maximize crunch.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for consistent thin slices.
- Don’t skip rinsing and drying the slices to ensure crispiness.
- Customize with seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or vinegar.
- To bake, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Store chips in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
- To reheat, bake at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes.
