Homemade Potato Chips

Forget expensive store-bought potato chips full of empty calories. Instead, make your own from scratch! These homemade potato chips are made from real potatoes right before your eyes.

Ingredients

  • Potatoes – any variety*
  • Vegetable oil / canola oil / grape seed oil / peanut oil / lard
  • Sea salt or seasoned salt

Instructions

  • In a large heavy pan or in an electric skillet; heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil, canola oil, grape seed oil, peanut oil or lard to about 350°F.
  • Scrub potatoes clean and thinly slice. Place one at a time into hot oil in a single layer.
  • Fry the potato slices until they no longer “sizzle” and are golden brown, or as you like, about 3 minutes per batch.
  • Using a Cook’s Spoon with holes, transfer the potato chips to layers of paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt or seasoned salt.
  • Let cool. Note: Hot chips will not be as crisp as cool chips.
  • Repeat frying the chips in batches until all the potato slices are cooked.
