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.
- Potatoes
- Salt to taste to sprinkle
- Chili powder / Chat masala - to taste (optional)
- Oil - for deep frying
Preparation:
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not let them dry for too long, as the color changes due to out side air.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once cool you can store in air tight containers for later use, or can have hot with tea.
