Potato Chips at home / Hot Chips

Potato Chips - Ha who doesn't like it may be the one who are on dieting :) There is nothing like Hot Chips with tea on a rainy day. I got it right the second time. Try to buy potatoes like I have shown in the picture for chips or fries, if you do not find it then use the one available. When ever I find these potatoes available in the market will buy and store to be consumed within a week's time, as these gives nice crispy chips. Well you need to have slicer, like what I have posted. This will give thin slices.


Ingredients:
  1. Potatoes
  2. Salt to taste to sprinkle
  3. Chili powder / Chat masala - to taste (optional)
  4. Oil - for deep frying
Preparation:
  1. Wash well, peel and slice the potatoes. If you prefer you may keep the skin on if they are clean. I kept the skin for a batch of potatoes.
  2. Using a clean cotton cloth wipe moisture off the sliced potatoes and spread in plate or paper so that they can dry a bit after removing the wetness.
  3. Do not let them dry for too long, as the color changes due to out side air.
  4. Heat oil in a heavy bottom kadai, and deep fry them in hot oil. It will take a while to fry you can fry them in medium heat. Not low or high. Keep changing sides occasionally so that all the slices can get fried well on both sides.
  5. Remove and keep on a kitchen towel or tissue to remove the excess oil, and sprinkle salt + masala evenly and toss gently so that all the chips can get coated.
  6. Once cool you can store in air tight containers for later use, or can have hot with tea.
