Crispy Homemade Potato Chips Recipe

Step 1

About an hour before cooking, slice the potatoes. To do this the easiest way, take a mandolin on the thinnest setting and carefully slice potatoes that have been washed and scrubbed.

Step 2

Immediately place the sliced potatoes into a bowl filled with cold water. Let sit in the fridge for one hour in water.

Step 3

In a heavy bottom skillet, pour in canola oil so it is about 1-2 inches deep or you can use an electric deep fryer. Get the oil hot over medium heat to 375°F.

Step 4

Take about a dozen of the potato slices out of the water and pat dry with a paper towel, carefully but quickly drop in potato slices into the hot oil. These take seconds to cook, using tongs turn them over as soon as any browning occurs.

Step 5

With tongs, take them out of the oil and let drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt immediately. Keep repeating the same process until all of the potato chips are finished. Serve and enjoy!
