Description
Golden, crispy homemade potato chips made with just three simple ingredients. Thinly sliced russet potatoes are fried to perfection and lightly salted for the ultimate crunchy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes (about 900 grams), peeled and sliced 1.5 mm thick
- 1 liter vegetable oil, for deep frying
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 180°C.
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 20 minutes. Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- Line a tray with paper towels and set it near the stove for draining the chips.
- Carefully lower a small batch of dried potato slices into the hot oil, making sure they do not stick together.
- Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately while still hot.
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to a bowl and serve fresh.
Notes
- Keep oil temperature steady at 180°C for even crisping.
- Do not overcrowd the pot to prevent soggy chips.
- Season while the chips are still hot so the salt adheres properly.
