Homemade Potato Chips Recipe (video)
Super quick and simple one this week! We made some potato chips. Not a high concept or anything, but we do have a small comparison between slicing your chips thin and *super* thin. We prefer the super thin for a home kitchen, because you get that perfect crispness all the way through. A little thicker and you get a bit more potato flavour, but you need to fry them longer to get them crispy, and by the time the middle is crispy, the outsides might be a little overdone. Also, you don't need to par-cook your potatoes for this, but you really should soak them once they're sliced, and drain them thoroughly in order to gain maximum crispiness!
We just dust ours with a bit of salt (right out of the fryer, of course!), but you can season these however you want. You can even buy chip seasoning at the store if you want to put some salt and vinegar dust, or sour cream and onion, or even all-dressed! We were serving this with something, so we wanted them very plain, so just a little bit of salt is perfect. And you get to control the salt amount, too!
