Homemade Barbecue Potato Chips image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 medium russet potatoes
About 2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Mix the paprika, sugar, salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
  • Slice the potatoes about 1/16 inch thick on a mandoline. Put the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and agitate to separate the slices and release the starch. Drain the water and repeat with fresh cold water about 3 more times, until the water runs clear. Lay out a couple of layers of paper towels and spread the potatoes out in a slightly overlapping layer (stack with more layers of paper towels to save space if necessary) and let stand to dry, about 5 minutes.
  • Fill a large, wide pot with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Line a large mixing bowl with paper towels for draining. Add about 1/4 of the potato slices to the hot oil and fry, mixing constantly with a spider or large slotted metal spoon, until golden brown all over, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chips to the prepared mixing bowl. Fry the remaining potatoes in 3 more batches, making sure to return the oil to 300 degrees F between batches. When all of the chips are in the bowl, remove the paper towels.
  • Put the seasoning mix in a sieve and dust it over the chips, gently tossing them so that they coat evenly. Cool completely and eat immediately or keep in an airtight bag or container up to 1 day.

MY HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS



My Homemade Potato Chips image

There's no need to set up a deep fryer to make great potato chips - the oven is just fine. Part of the charm of homemade chips is that they're a little thicker and have more of a bite than chips from a bag. And best of all, you can serve them warm! Here's an opportunity for the yin-yang thing: warm potato chip with crème fraîche, a small slice of smoked salmon, smoked trout, or a bit of caviar, and a shot of very chilled vodka. Instant celebration.

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS



Homemade Tortilla Chips image

Of course, you can buy tortilla chips at the store, but there are many good reasons to make your own. For one, they can support more toppings, since they're likely to be thicker. And you can control the level of salt and browning. This recipe allows you to bake or fry them: Frying results in the crispiest, snappiest crunch, while baking is incredibly easy. If you decide to fry, mind your stovetop heat, adjusting as needed so the chips turn golden in the same time it take them to crisp. The chips are delicious on their own, with salsa or guacamole, or in nachos, chilaquiles or migas. Keep the chips in a sealed container or bag and they will stay beautifully crisp for at least one week.

Categories     snack, crackers and chips, finger foods

Time 1h

Yield 1 to 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 4

30 (5-inch) fresh corn tortillas (about 25 ounces)
Vegetable oil (about 4 cups), as needed for frying or baking
Nonstick cooking spray, for baking
Kosher salt or sea salt

Steps:

  • Collect the tortillas into 2 tall stacks and cut into 6 even wedges. If frying your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 2. If baking your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 3.
  • To fry your tortilla chips, line 2 large baking sheets with paper towels. Set aside. Fill a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet with about 1/2 inch vegetable oil (about 4 cups). Heat over medium until the oil reaches about 350 degrees and is hot but not smoking, 6 to 10 minutes. You can see if it's ready by dipping a tortilla wedge into the hot oil. It should bubble immediately and enthusiastically. Gently add enough tortilla wedges to fill the skillet in a single layer without crowding, and fry for about 1 minute per side, using a spider or a slotted spoon to flip them over, until lightly golden and crisp. (Do not allow them to brown too much or they will taste bitter.) Using the spider or slotted spoon, transfer the chips to the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle immediately with salt, so it adheres to the glistening chips. Repeat until all chips are cooked, transferring cooled chips to a large bowl and replacing the paper towels as needed. (Let the remaining oil cool to room temperature, then strain and transfer to a bottle to reuse it for future deep frying.)
  • To bake your tortilla chips, position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Brush 2 large baking sheets with oil or spray with cooking spray. Working in batches, scatter the tortilla wedges on top in a single layer without crowding too much. (The chips should barely overlap.) Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil or cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, remove from the oven, flip the chips and return to the oven, until lightly browned and crisp, another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste, so the salt will stick to the chips. Repeat with remaining chips.

3 tablespoons chopped black olives
2 tablespoons chopped chives

  • With a sharp knife, very carefully slice the bagels one at a time as thinly as possible, for 8 to 10 thin slices per bagel. Spread in 1 layer on the prepared sheets.
  • Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When oil starts to get warm, about 1 minute, remove from the heat and add the garlic and Essence. Let sit until the garlic perfumes the oil, about 10 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oil.
  • With a pastry brush, lightly brush the oil on the bagel chips. Bake until golden brown. Turn and bake on the second side until just crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks.
  • To serve, arrange the bagel chips on a platter with the creamy garlic and vegetable spread.

HOMEMADE CHILI POTATO CHIPS WITH SESAME AVOCADO SALSA



Homemade Chili Potato Chips with Sesame Avocado Salsa image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 russet potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick on a mandoline or by hand with a sharp knife
Olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Juice of 1 lime
Sriracha or other hot sauce, as desired
4 avocados, chopped
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Toasted sesame seeds, for topping

Steps:

  • For the homemade chili potato chips: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Distribute the potatoes between the prepared baking sheets in one layer. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then flip the potatoes over, brush the other side with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until splotchy and brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Keep a close eye on them as they could burn quickly.
  • For the sesame avocado salsa: Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, lime and some hot sauce in a large bowl. Add the avocados and toss to coat, mashing some of the avocados a little bit to bring everything together. Taste and adjust as desired (this is one of those foods that you've eaten half of by the time you're done making it because you'll probably want to taste test it again and again and again...). Top with the chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds.
  • When the chips are done, immediately sprinkle them with the chili powder. Let cool slightly and enjoy with the salsa.

HOMEMADE CORN TORTILLA CHIPS, EASY CHEAP MEXICAN SNACK FOOD



Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips, Easy Cheap Mexican Snack Food image

Corn tortillas (used in making Oaxaca-style quesadillas) are available at international and Latin grocery stores, and if you live in a large Latin-American community like I do then you can find corn tortillas in bags of 20-30 for like $2 or less at major grocery stores. Flour tortillas probably won't work as well for this and definitely won't have the corn flavor and base. Never spend money on premade again! You can also control how large or small you want to make them (and keep them seasoned or not) not to mention salt content if you're watching sodium intake. 32 chips is all I could fit on my convection oven's cookie sheet so feel free to use more tortillas; the methodology is all the same. You won't believe how easy it is to get restaurant-style tortilla chips without any icky unnatural ingredients!

Provided by the80srule

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 32 chips, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 corn tortillas (assuming they're the small ones that have about a 6-inch diameter)
1/4 cup olive oil (Corn oil works great, so does canola oil. This is an estimate, I think I had a little left over last)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, for sprinkling (table salt works too but coarse kosher works far better. Sea salt is fab as well)

Steps:

  • Cover a cookie sheet in foil, and with a pastry or BBQ brush, brush with olive or corn oil and a small sprinkling of kosher salt. (You have to do this or else it won't come out right.).
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees-- make sure the oven rack is in the center.
  • Cut each tortilla into 4 equal wedge pieces.
  • Brush the pieces with olive/corn oil and lightly sprinkle with the kosher salt.
  • Bake for 6-10 minutes until the edges curl, depending on oven strength. Higher altitudes may need to cook for 15 minutes or longer.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes prior to eating.
  • Voila, you have natural yummy corn chips without unhealthy preservatives, hydrogenated oils, and whatnot. Serve with your favorite Mexican meal or snack food, a good salsa, or just eat plain. For some variation ideas: Soak in guacamole to make guac chips, brush tomatillo sauce or salsa on to have baked-on salsa, make spicy chips with my all-purpose Mexican seasoning, the possibilities are endless.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for making homemade chips because they are starchy and have a low moisture content. This results in crispy chips that are not greasy.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help to remove the starch from the potatoes, which will make them crispier.
  • Dry the potato slices thoroughly before frying them. This will help to prevent them from splattering.
  • Fry the potato slices in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to not overcrowd the pan, or the chips will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the chips on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Season the chips with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Making homemade chips is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious snack. By following these tips, you can make perfect chips every time. So next time you're craving a crunchy snack, skip the store-bought chips and make your own instead.
