Equipment

Method
15 steps- Peel four medium potatoes.
- Use a food processor with a slicing attachment or a mandolin to slice the potatoes into paper-thin rounds.

- Let the potatoes soak in the salty water for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes after soaking.
- Rinse and drain again to remove excess starch.
- Blot dry the potato slices thoroughly before frying.
- Heat a quart of oil in a deep fryer to 365°F (185°C).
- Fry the potato slices in small batches until they turn golden brown.
- Remove the chips and drain on paper towels.
- Continue frying in batches until all slices are cooked.

- Season with additional salt before serving.
Helpful tips
