Potato Chips

Submitted by Hey Jude

"Homemade potato chips are one of my favorite comfort foods. I especially love them when they're purple and gold, but regular russets are good too."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups clarified butter
• 1 1⁄2 cups canola oil
• 4 potatoes (2 purple Peruvian and 2 Yukon gold, or 4 regular russets)
• kosher salt

directions

1. Heat clarified butter and oil in a medium, deep saucepan to 300°.
2. Cut unpeeled potatoes into paper thin slices; deep-fry in batches for 4-5 minutes or until crisp and oil around chips is no longer bubbling.
3. (Moisture in potatoes causes the bubbles; once the bubbles stop, the chips will be crisp) Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with kosher salt.

OK, how can you NOT give a buttery-crisp, home-made potato chip anything BUT 5 stars. Nothing complex as a recipe, no weird ingredients, but honest-to-goodness addictive taste. (I shouldn't have made these - I've eaten nearly all of them!) Yes, I recommend the recipe.

I didn't try the butter method. I used my deep fryer at 300 degrees and followed th directions exactly. A little greasy but YUMMY!

Very good recipe! I love thinking of all the money I am going to save on potato chips! I also found that deep-frying (in my GE deep-fryer) at 375 degrees and then sprinkling Kosher salt on them worked great too! You just don't get the buttery flavor which I liked the most. Thanks for sharing!
