Potato Chips Without The Hips Food

HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat your GAS oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the potato slices (2 cups) and olive oil (1 tablespoon). Mix well so every surface of every slice of potato is covered evenly- you may want to use your hands for this, since the sliced potatoes may stick together.
• Place the sliced potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap (but they can touch a little on the edges). Sprinkle them evenly with the kosher salt (1 teaspoon) and any other spices you want to use. Bake in the top half of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Turn OFF the oven and allow to sit in oven while it cools off 15-30 minutes (ONLY do this with a gas oven. See notes for electric. This is optional if you're in a hurry, but highly recommended, as it will make the potatoes crispier. Keep an eye on them though- the residual heat can quickly burn them if you aren't careful!).
• Serve potato chips plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.

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.
