Preparation

How to prepare Potato Chips

To prepare potato chips, first wash the potatoes well, removing any dirt 1. Using a mandoline, slice them into 1/16-inch (2 mm) slices 2. Once you have sliced the first potato 3, transfer the slices to a bowl of cold water.

Repeat this process for the rest of the potatoes. The water will quickly become cloudy due to the starch in the potatoes, so change it at least three times before leaving the slices to soak for an hour 4. At this point, drain them and transfer them to a clean, dry dish towel 5. Spread them out evenly 6.

Pat them dry with kitchen paper 7. Dry them thoroughly to prevent the oil from 'exploding' and splattering when the potatoes are immersed. Heat the oil to 285°F (140°C). Immerse the potato slices in the hot oil, a few at a time 8. Cook them for a couple of minutes 9.

Remove them with a slotted spoon 10 and transfer them to a tray lined with paper towels 11. Cook the rest in this manner, then increase the oil temperature to 355°F (180°C) and immerse the potato slices again 12.

Cook them for another 2 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon 13 and transfer them to a tray lined with paper towels 14. Continue cooking the rest in this manner. Salt and serve your chips immediately 15.
