Instructions
First choose a large
potato. A potato with a smooth surface and close to cylindrical will
be easy to work with. Wash and peel the skin of the potato so that
dirt will get removed.
Fill a bowl with water and
place the potato slicer on top of the water bowl. Thinly slice the
potato across the width. Make sure that the potato slices immediately
drop into the water. This will prevent the potato slices from
browning.
Once the whole potato is
sliced up, wash the potato slices nicely in water for 2 or 3 times
until the water runs out clean. This will remove any excess starch
from the surface. Now, add about a tsp of salt to the bowl, mix well
and leave the potato slices to soak up in water .
After about 10-15 mins,
remove the potato slices from the water and leave them to dry on a
clean kitchen towel / paper napkins. Meanwhile heat oil for frying.
Once the oil is hot, reduce the flame to medium low and drop a batch
of the potato slices. Continuously keep tossing up the potato slices
in the oil, until they turn slightly golden and/or crisp. Remove the
chips from the oil and drain off excess oil. Before adding the next
batch for frying, wait for a few mins, make sure that the oil is back
hot again.
Taste the potato chips and
add additional salt per taste, toss it up and enjoy a plain salted
version.
Add red chilli powder to
the chips and toss it up for a spicy chilli chips
Add freshly ground black
pepper to the chips and toss it up for a spicy pepper chips
Store in an airtight
container or zip lock bag and enjoy.
