HOMESTYLE POTATO CHIPS



Homestyle Potato Chips image

Making homestyle potato chips is fun and easy. Guaranteed they won't last long! A food processor with a slicing attachment is very helpful. Experiment with the thickness; you may like them thicker or thinner. I like to use olive oil because it has less trans fats, but you can use safflower, corn, or peanut oil as well as vegetable oil.

AIR FRYER POTATO CHIPS



Air Fryer Potato Chips image

Conventional potato chips provide a salty, crisp snack but are packed with excess fat because they are fried. These chips still provide a salty crispness but are made in an air fryer. The seasoning is just what I wanted, but you can use a ranch seasoning, truffle salt, garlic salt, etc. as well.

POTATO CHIPS



Potato Chips image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 quarts olive oil, not extra virgin
1 pound russet potatoes, about 2 large, scrubbed and rinsed
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 4-quart cast iron Dutch oven. A deep-fry thermometer clipped to the Dutch oven should reach 300 degrees F.
  • While the oil heats, line a large mixing bowl with paper towels.
  • On a mandoline or with a sharp knife, cut 8 to 10 slices of the potato, widthwise, to about the thickness of a dime. Carefully add the slices 1 at a time to the hot oil. Using a spider, constantly move the slices in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove the chips with the spider, allowing some of the excess oil to drain off. Move the finished chips to the lined bowl and shake to remove additional oil. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain 300 degrees F and continue slicing and frying the potatoes in small batches. When the final batch has finished frying, sprinkle the chips with kosher salt, to taste, and shake the bowl to evenly distribute the salt. Remove the paper towels and serve.

SALT AND VINEGAR POTATO CHIPS

My children love salt and vinegar chips, and I had some potatoes to use, so I thought this would be a nice treat for them.

These are excellent for a cookout; make them a day ahead and surprise everybody!

HOMEMADE BARBECUE POTATO CHIPS



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.

1 pound high quality milk chocolate, chopped

Heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate has melted, then continue to heat the chocolate to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), stirring occasionally.

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.

3 tablespoons olive, canola, or peanut oil
N/A Salt
N/A freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the potatoes into a bowl and immediately toss them with the oil. Season lightly with salt and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven until golden brown - about 12-15 minutes. Season again lightly with salt and pepper when they come out of the oven. Transfer to a rack to cool for maximum crispness.
  • Weighing your options
  • If you want to be a little more daring, don't limit yourself to salt and pepper - you can season with ancho chile powder, ground cumin, minced herbs, toasted sesame seeds, ground nori (toasted black seaweed sheets used to roll sushi) - really anything you like. Just be sure to season immediately after the chips come out of the oven, while there is still some residual oil for the spices to adhere to.

LOW-CALORIE DIP FOR RAW VEGGIES OR POTATO CHIPS



Low-Calorie Dip for Raw Veggies or Potato Chips image

Very good and easy to make. I eat it with carrot sticks, celery sticks, green bell pepper strips, cherry tomatoes and/or cucumber slices. I myself make this with light rather than nonfat Miracle Whip or mayo, because I don't like nonfat, which to my mind tastes quite different--however, if you don't mind the taste of nonfat, go for it!

HOT POTATO CHIPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Hot Potato Chips with Blue Cheese Sauce image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 pound crumbled blue cheese
Homemade Potato Chips, recipe follows, or good-quality store-bought potato chips
6 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices on a mandoline
2 quarts peanut oil
Salt

Steps:

  • Place the milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, and continue whisking until thickened. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a little extra milk. Serve sauce warm with potato chips for dipping.
  • Place the potato slices on a baking sheet between layers of paper towels to make sure they are very dry before frying.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan until the temperature of the oil reaches 400 degrees F on a deep-fat thermometer. Fry the potatoes in small batches until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a brown paper bag or another baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Season with salt immediately. Serve hot with the blue cheese dipping sauce.

Tips for Making Perfect Potato Chips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for crispy and fluffy chips.
  • Slice Evenly: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to cut potatoes into uniform slices for even cooking.
  • Soak and Rinse: Soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then rinse and pat dry.
  • Season Generously: Sprinkle potato slices with salt and other seasonings before frying or baking.
  • Fry at the Right Temperature: Maintain a consistent oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for frying.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Fry potato slices in batches to prevent overcrowding and uneven cooking.
  • Drain Thoroughly: Remove chips from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  • Store Properly: Keep potato chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Homemade potato chips are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or paired with dips and sandwiches. With the right techniques and attention to detail, you can easily create crispy, flavorful, and addictive potato chips at home. Experiment with different seasonings and cooking methods to find your perfect combination.
