Ingredients

3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes

Vegetable oil, for deep-frying 

1 tablespoon chicken salt 

Directions

  1. Slice the potatoes about 1/16-inch thick on a mandoline. Put the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and agitate the water to release the starch. Drain and repeat until the water remains clear, about three more times. Line two baking sheets with paper towels and spread the potatoes on top in a single layer; pat dry thoroughly.
  2. Fill a large, wide pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 315 degrees F over medium-high heat. Fry a small batch of potatoes until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined pan with a large slotted spoon and sprinkle with chicken salt. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, returning the oil to temperature between batches.

I made my own chicken salt using a recipe online and the chips were a definate hit! Valerie's technique rinsing the potatoes and patting dry works wonders resulting in very crunchy chips... I actually let some of the sliced uncooked potatoes soak in water in the fridge for a couple of days, as I had cut way too many. They also turned out great. If you or family members like Barbeque flavored chips, she has an excellent recipe for them as well.<br />Thanks for a great recipe Valerie!
