Ingredients
Cacciatore Rub:
2 teaspoons ground fennel seed, toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
Chips:
1 pound russet potatoes, sliced thin on a mandoline
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Special equipment:
a mandoline; a deep-frying thermometer- For the cacciatore rub: Mix together the ground fennel, salt, onion powder, oregano and paprika in a small bowl. Set aside.
- For the chips: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit for 3 minutes. Drain well and cover with fresh cold water. Season with the salt and let sit for at least 1 hour or up to overnight at room temperature.
- Heat 2 inches oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels and set aside.
- Drain the chips well and dry very well with paper towels. Working in batches, fry the chips until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes.
