Homemade Potato Chips
A simple recipe for making crispy potato chips at home.
Ingredients
- 2 large Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work well)
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (For frying)
- 1 tsp Salt (Or to taste)
Instructions
- 1Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them very thinly, about the thickness of a lucifer match (very thin!). A mandoline slicer is recommended for even thickness.
- 2Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until they begin to turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. They will cook very quickly.
- 3Remove the chips from the oil with a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.
- 4Serve immediately and enjoy!
