Homemade Potato Chips

Method

1. 01
   Step 1Peel and slice potatoes

   Peel the potatoes and slice them very thinly. I recommend using a mandoline slicer for even slices.

   Note

   A mandoline slicer helps get uniform thickness for even cooking.

   Step 2Rinse the slices

   Rinse the potato slices 3–4 times, or until the water runs clear.

   Note

   This removes excess starch and helps the chips get crispier.

   Drain and dry them very well before frying.

   Note

   Completely dry slices prevent oil splatter and ensure crispiness.

   Only store when completely cool to maintain crispiness.
