Homeade Potato Chips
What I love about making chips and it's only the third time I've made them is that can take on any flavor. After deciding what kind of chips you want the rest is pretty easy.
Yesterday I went with Parmesean Chips.
A little parmesean goes a long way.
I don't have a deep fryer so I just used a basic saute pan that has about 4 inches of depth. I got some hot oil to what I imagine was 400 degrees. Took some eastern Idaho's and sliced them ever so thin using my versatile Mandolin slicer. Perfect shaped rounds of potatoes.
Then I fried them off in batches of like 15 at a time. 2-3 minutes tops. Threw them in a giant salad bowl I have and seasoned them right out of the oil.
Salt
Pepper
Sweet Paprika
Shot of Parmesean cheese
The result is this dark, crispy, salty treat that you won't find in a bag on any shelf. Good stuff.
Again, any seasoning would work. Take garlic and onion powder with salt and you can make Onion and Garlic chips better than Wise. How about Old Bay Chips, maybe to accompany a clam chowder? A million possibilities.
I'm giving you pearls here kids.
