Instructions

Step Instruction
1. Begin by thoroughly washing the potatoes under cold water. Make sure to remove any dirt from the skins.
2. Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for getting crispy chips.
3. Using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer, cut the potatoes into thin slices, about 1-2 mm thick. For the best results, try to keep the slices uniform in size.
4. Lay the potato slices in a single layer on a clean towel and gently press down with another towel to absorb as much moisture as possible. This will help them crisp up when fried.
5. Heat the peanut oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat. The oil should be enough to fully submerge the potato slices. Test the temperature by dropping in a small piece of potato – if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
6. Fry the potato slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden and crispy, which should take about 2-3 minutes per batch. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
7. Once the chips are golden and crispy, carefully remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. While still hot, sprinkle the chips with fine salt to taste. Adjust the salt according to your preference for a light seasoning or a more robust flavor.
9. Serve the homemade crispy potato chips immediately for the best crunch or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

These homemade potato chips are an incredibly versatile side dish. Serve them with your favorite dip, or enjoy them on their own for a satisfying snack. The crispy texture and light, salty flavor make them a favorite with both kids and adults. Whether you’re enjoying them with a sandwich or as a side to a hearty salad, these chips are a perfect addition to any meal.
