HOW TO MAKE POTATO CHIPS - METHOD

Wash and peel the potatoes. Take water in a wide bowl and slice the potatoes directly in the water. Keep the slices immersed in water to avoid discoloration. Rinse it well till the color of water changes to white. (You should remove the starch in potatoes).i.e Discard the water and again wash the potato slices. Repeat this for 2-3 times. Spread the slices in a paper or cotton towel for 10 to 15 minutes. Pat it dry by covering with another paper or towel. Make sure there is no moisture in the slices. In a bowl, take the salt. Dissolve it by adding little water. Set aside. In a kadai, heat the oil required for deep frying. Check the temperature by dropping a piece of potato slice. If it raises to top immediately, oil is just right. Keep the flame medium & drop the potato slices in batches. Do not dump more in one batch.  Keep tossing & pressing with a ladle till bubbles cease. Once the bubbles reduce & potato slices turns crispy, reduce the flame completely & carefully sprinkle the salt water standing a feet away.( If you are scared to do this step, skip it and sprinkle salt at the end after removing the chips from oil) As soon as you sprinkle the salt water, oil bubbles with crackling sound. Keep tossing the chips for salt water to get coated evenly. The noise is completely suppressed after a minute. Bubbles will cease completely. Flip the chips. Remove in a tissue paper. Sprinkle pepper powder or red chilli powder, mix well and enjoy with variety rice. Store in an air tight box when it is cooled down completely.

Note U can make this chips in advanced for birthday parties. Make the chips the previous day. After it cools down completely, keep it in a zip lock bag or polythene cover and store in a box. It stays crispy. If you don’t want to sprinkle water directly on fire, deep fry the chips till crispy. Remove in a bowl. Mix salt with pepper powder or chilli powder. Sprinkle when the chips is hot. Toss well and serve ! Always deep fry the chips in correct flame. If you drop a pinch of potato, it should rise immediately. Reduce the flame to medium & then deep fry. Adjust the flame whenever necessary. Do not let the oil fume or smoke at any point. Then chips will become dark brown even if you use chips potato. If you feel, the oil is overheated switch off the stove for sometime and let the oil cool down a bit. Then proceed again. By doing this way, you will get all the chips in uniform color.
