Potato chips are an all-time favorite snack that almost everyone loves. They are crunchy, salty, and so delicious. In this recipe, I made chips using the cold-water method to achieve maximum crispiness. By soaking the potato slices in cold water, you can remove excess starch, which can prevent the chips from becoming crispy. With a few simple ingredients and some patience, you can enjoy delicious, crispy chips that are healthier and more flavorful than store-bought varieties. Do try this!
The key to making crispy instant potato chips at home are:
- Firstly, choose red potatoes, also known as wafer potatoes, for chips because they contain less starch and give a perfect result.
- Secondly, use the cold-water method to make the chips crispy. Soak the potato slices in cold water to remove excess starch before frying. Also, add salt water at the time of frying to make the chips crispier and more flavorful.
- Thirdly, fry the potato chips on medium flame till they become crisp. Do not fry the chips on high flame. You can add different seasonings to the chips to give them a unique flavor, such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Lastly, store the potato chips in an airtight container once cooled completely, or they may turn soggy due to moisture.
