Description

Crispy, golden, and made with just three ingredients, these homestyle potato chips are a simple and satisfying snack that's better than store-bought.


Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Salt to taste


Instructions

  1. Rinse the potato slices in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. Drain and pat the slices thoroughly dry with paper towels to prevent oil splatter.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Add potato slices in small batches to the hot oil and fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove chips using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. While still hot, sprinkle chips with salt to taste.
  7. Let chips cool slightly before serving or store in an airtight container once fully cooled.

Notes

Use a mandoline slicer for even, thin slices.

Season with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, or vinegar powder for flavor variations.

For a rustic look and deeper flavor, leave the potato skins on.

Sweet potatoes can be used as a variation for a richer chip.

To restore crunch, reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.
