Description
Making homestyle potato chips is fun and easy. Guaranteed they won’t last long! A food processor with a slicing attachment is very helpful. Experiment with the thickness; you may like them thicker or thinner. I like to use olive oil because it has less trans fats, but you can use safflower, corn, or peanut oil as well as vegetable oil.
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced paper-thin
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 quart oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Transfer potato slices to a large bowl of cold water as you slice them.
- Drain slices and rinse under cold water. Refill the bowl with water
- add 3 tablespoons salt
- and put slices back in the bowl. Let potatoes soak in the salty water for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain and rinse slices again. Pat dry.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
- Working in small batches
- fry potato slices until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Continue until all of the slices are fried.
- Season potato chips with additional salt if desired.
