Classic Homemade Potato Chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them very thinly (about 1-2 mm) using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3. 3

   Drain the potato slices and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 170°C (340°F).

5. 5

   Fry the potato slices in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally for even cooking.

6. 6

   Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   While still hot, sprinkle the chips evenly with salt.

8. 8

   Allow to cool slightly and serve your classic homemade potato chips fresh and crispy.
