POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes about 1/16-inch thick with a mandolin-style vegetable slicer. Put the slices in tepid water, to cover, and soak for 30 minutes.
• Fill a tall heavy-bottomed pot, like a stockpot, about a third full with the oil. (Don't over fill the pot with oil, since it bubbles up during frying.) Set a deep frying thermometer in the pot and heat the oil, over medium heat, to 360 degrees F.
• Drain and spin the potatoes dry in a salad spinner. Spread the potatoes out on a pan and pat them dry with paper towels. When ready to fry, raise the heat to high. Working in small batches, carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Lift the chips from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel covered baking sheet to drain. Season with the salt. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, taking care that the oil returns to 360 degrees F. before adding each batch. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPICED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil until tender and easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool until cool to the touch. Cut in half and set aside in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, agave, red pepper flakes, lemon juice and onion. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the potatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with the basil, microgreens and hot sauce.

INDIAN CHAAT-INSPIRED POTATO CHIP SALAD

Steps:

• Combine yogurt, lime juice, tamarind paste, garam masala, cumin, hot sauce, and sugar in a bowl with a whisk until combined. Taste and adjust as needed; mix in water as needed to reach desired consistency.
• Layer chips, jalapeno, bell pepper, red and green onions, potatoes, mint, cilantro, and yogurt sauce as desired for individual portions, or this can be served salad bar-style and everyone can make their own plate. Squeeze lime juice from halves over top.
