Homemade Potato Chips Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes (Russet potatoes work well)
• 2 cups vegetable oil (or another oil for frying)
• Salt (to taste)
• Optional: Seasonings (such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes:

   • Wash and peel the potatoes (you can leave the skin on for extra crunch, if preferred).
   • Slice the potatoes thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even, thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick).

2. Soak the Potato Slices:

   • Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak them for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.

3. Heat the Oil:

   • In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).

4. Fry the Chips:

   • Once the oil is hot, carefully add a small batch of potato slices to the oil (don’t overcrowd the pan).
   • Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5. Season the Chips:

   • While still hot, sprinkle the chips with salt (or your choice of seasonings, like paprika, garlic powder, or a bit of pepper).

6. Serve:

   • Let them cool for a few minutes to allow them to crisp up even more, then enjoy!

Tips:

• You can bake the chips if you prefer a healthier option. Simply toss the thinly sliced potatoes with a little olive oil and salt, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• If you want to make them flavored, try adding Parmesan cheese, dill, or even ranch seasoning for a fun twist.
