How to Make Homemade Potato Chips Recipe

1. Peel potatoes or leave unpeeled as desired.
2. Slice potatoes very thin.
3. Put sliced potatoes into ice-cold water, and set them in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. Note: you can skip this step if making just a few.
4. Drain potatoes and dry them very thoroughly with paper towels. Any water can cause a dangerous splattering of hot oil.
5. Heat oil to 375 ° F in a fryer.
6. Place a layer of potato chips into the fryer.
7. Fry chips to a light brown.
8. Drain the basket and pour chips onto paper towels.
9. Salt lightly to taste.

Tip: Only put a few chips into the fryer at a time to avoid them sticking together.
