Name: Homemade Potato Chips Recipe: Crispy & Delicious
Total time: 1 hr
Ingredients: 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced paper-thin; 3 tablespoons salt, plus more to taste; 1 quart oil for deep frying

Making homemade potato chips is surprisingly simple and enjoyable. Get ready for them to disappear quickly! A food processor with a slicing attachment significantly speeds up the potato slicing process. Feel free to play around with different thicknesses to find your perfect chip. I prefer using olive oil for frying, but feel free to experiment with safflower, corn, peanut, or standard vegetable oil.

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced paper-thin
3 tablespoons salt, plus more to taste
1 quart oil for deep frying

Instructions

Prepare all of your ingredients.
Place the potato slices into a large bowl filled with cold water as you slice each one.
Drain the potato slices and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Refill the bowl, add 3 tablespoons of salt, and return the potato slices to soak for at least 30 minutes.
Drain and rinse the potato slices once more. Pat them completely dry.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
Fry the potato slices in small batches until they turn a beautiful golden color. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain. Repeat this process until all slices are fried.
Sprinkle the freshly fried potato chips with additional salt to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade chips!
