What are the best potatoes for homemade chips?<\/h2>\n
Floury, starchy potatoes were simply made for frying (and mashing, baking, roasting and so on).\u00a0Russet potatoes<\/a> top the list for yielding the crispiest, crunchiest homemade chips. Look for fresh spuds that are firm to touch and that have not sprouted. (You can eat sprouted potatoes<\/a> if they’re not too far gone, as long as you cut off the eyes.) For folks across the pond in the United Kingdom, try Maris Pipers.<\/p>\n Using a vegetable peeler, metal cheese slicer or mandoline, cut the potatoes into very thin slices and place them in a large bowl. Cover them with ice water and add the salt. Soak the slices for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Drain the potatoes, place them on paper towels and pat them dry. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, celery salt and pepper. Set the seasoning aside.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: Make sure the potatoes are well-dried before you fry them for peak crispiness.<\/p>\n In a cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1-1\/2 inches of oil to 375\u00b0F. Working in batches, fry the potatoes until they’re golden brown, about three to four minutes, stirring frequently.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: Don’t overcrowd the skillet! Frying the potatoes in batches ensures they’ll crisp up evenly.<\/p>\n Remove the chips with a slotted spoon, then drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle the hot chips with the seasoning mixture.<\/p>\n Once the chips are completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container (a resealable bag works too), and store them at room temperature. Leaving the chips until they’re 100% cooled cannot be emphasized enough. Any residual heat turns into moisture, which creates soggy chips. Yuck!<\/p>\n When stored in an airtight container, homemade chips will last for five to seven days.<\/p>\n Not soaking the potatoes is where most folks go wrong when making homemade potato chips. Allowing the potatoes to sit in water removes a lot of starch, making for crispier, crunchier chips. Do you need <\/em>to soak the potatoes? Technically, no, but it’s absolutely worth the extra step. Just don’t forget to pat the potatoes dry after draining the water.<\/p>\n The best way to keep homemade potato chips crispy is to lay them on paper towels after you’ve fried them. The paper towels soak up excess oil, ensuring the chips won’t be too soggy. If stored in an airtight container, they should hold their crisp texture\u2014as long as they cooled completely before being stored.<\/p>\n While homemade chips are a bit healthier than store-bought, baking your chips is healthier still. After soaking and drying the potatoes, put them on parchment-lined baking sheets. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, then dust them with the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat, arrange the potatoes in a single layer, then bake them at 425\u00b0 for 15 to 20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crunchy.<\/p>\n You’ve made the chips, so how about pairing them with a few dips? Buffalo chicken dip<\/a> or ranch dressing<\/a>\u00a0are obvious choices, and these homemade chips would be perfect for beer dips, pico de gallo, homemade hummus and Rotel dip<\/a>\u00a0too. Chips have never met a dip they didn’t get along with. Check out our best dip recipes<\/a> if you need a little inspo. For something lighter, serve the chips aperitivo-style with your favorite types of olives<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seasoned and crunchy homemade potato chips are the ultimate snack.

Homemade Potato Chips Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n
What potatoes are the best for making chips?<\/h3> \r\nFresh, firm, and non-sprouted russet potatoes<\/a> are the best for making chips. Soaking the sliced potato in ice water will remove a lot of the starch content, which results in a delicious crispy chip. Just remember to pat them dry thoroughly before frying. \r\n\r\n
How do you keep homemade potato chips crispy?<\/h3> \r\nTo keep homemade potato chips crispy, remove their excess oil by placing them on clean paper towels after they're done frying. Then, store your chips in an air-tight container to prevent moisture exposure. Top these creative recipes<\/a> with your crispy potato chips!\r\n\r\n
Are homemade potato chips healthier than store-bought?<\/h3> \r\nYes, these homemade potato chips are healthier than store-bought! This recipe uses potatoes, oil and seasonings, so they\u2019re not packed with preservatives you\u2019d find in bagged chips. Homemade chips tend to be lower in fat and sodium, as you can control how little or how much salt is used according to your preferred taste. Our air-fryer potato chips<\/a> are healthy, too!\r\n\r\n
How do I slice potatoes to make my chips more uniform?<\/h3> \r\nTo slice uniform chips, use a mandolin to slice the potato. It not only cuts down on time, but using a slicer creates consistent slice sizes which ensures that your chips will cook evenly.","Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"Forget buying a bag of potato chips at the grocery store when you can make these at home.

Then, store your chips in an air-tight container to prevent moisture exposure. Top these creative recipes<\/a> with your crispy potato chips!
Are homemade potato chips healthier than store-bought?<\/h2> Yes, these homemade potato chips are healthier than store-bought!
