Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Homestyle Potato Chips.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for your delicious homemade potato chips.
Step 2
As you slice the potatoes into thin rounds, place them in a large bowl filled with cold water to prevent any browning.
Step 3
Once all the slices are in the water, drain and rinse them under cold water to wash away excess starch.
Step 4
Next, refill the bowl with fresh cold water, add three tablespoons of salt, and let the potato slices soak for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
This soaking process not only enhances the flavor but also improves the texture of your chips.
Step 6
After soaking, drain and rinse the slices once more, then gently pat them dry with paper towels to eliminate any lingering moisture.
Step 7
Heat oil in a deep fryer to a sizzling 365°F (185°C).
Step 8
Fry the potato slices in small batches, watching them transform into golden brown, crispy delights.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to lift them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Step 10
For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle additional salt over the hot chips if desired.
Step 11
Serve your warm, homemade potato chips and savor the satisfaction of your culinary creation!.
