How To Make Chip Spice Food

SPICY POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Jazz up your favorite store-bought potato chips: Spread the chips on a baking sheet and warm in a 350 degrees F oven until they look oily. Sprinkle with chili powder, paprika, ground mustard, salt and a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. Let cool before serving.

HOMEMADE BARBECUE POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Mix the paprika, sugar, salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
• Slice the potatoes about 1/16 inch thick on a mandoline. Put the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and agitate to separate the slices and release the starch. Drain the water and repeat with fresh cold water about 3 more times, until the water runs clear. Lay out a couple of layers of paper towels and spread the potatoes out in a slightly overlapping layer (stack with more layers of paper towels to save space if necessary) and let stand to dry, about 5 minutes.
• Fill a large, wide pot with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Line a large mixing bowl with paper towels for draining. Add about 1/4 of the potato slices to the hot oil and fry, mixing constantly with a spider or large slotted metal spoon, until golden brown all over, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chips to the prepared mixing bowl. Fry the remaining potatoes in 3 more batches, making sure to return the oil to 300 degrees F between batches. When all of the chips are in the bowl, remove the paper towels.
• Put the seasoning mix in a sieve and dust it over the chips, gently tossing them so that they coat evenly. Cool completely and eat immediately or keep in an airtight bag or container up to 1 day.

HOW TO MAKE KETCHUP CHIP SNACK SEASONING (IT'S OH-SO CANADIAN!)

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in sugar, tomato paste, vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.
• Bake in 300°F oven, stirring once, until coating is dry to the touch, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes to crisp.

SPICED UP POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes under water until totally clean. Use a mandolin or Japanese slicer to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. As you slice them, submerge them in cold water and set aside. Mix together the garlic salt, paprika, black pepper, cayenne and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• In 2 heavy Dutch ovens, heat some vegetable oil to 375 degrees F (use a thermometer to keep the temp right!). Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and blot them with more paper towels to dry completely.
• Lower batches of potatoes into the oil using a spatula. They will fry very quickly, about 1 1/2 minutes; remove with a spatula when they're nice and golden and crisp. Immediately sprinkle on the spice mix. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes!

SPICY OVEN BAKED CHIPS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200 C.
• Cut the potatos into even size chips, there is no need to peel the potatoes this adds to the taste however if you want really chunky chips it is best to par-boil them for a few minuites before they go in the oven.
• Spray a baking tray with the oil and sprinkle with salt pepper, garilc powder and paprika. Put the chips onto the seasoned tray and spray with oil 7 or 8 times. Cover with more pepper, salt paprika and the garlic powder.
• Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, depending on their size and how cripsy you like them, turn the chips once half way through.
• Serve immediately with whatever you fancy!
