How To Make Crispy Potato Chips Homemade Potato Chips Recipe
1. First of all take big size potatoes. Wash them, peel them and put them in water. This ensures that the potatoes do not turn black when cooked. Then cut them into round slices.
tip: – After cutting the slices, immediately put them in water. This is also an important step to keep the chips from turning black later.
2. Now wash all the slices with water.
tip: Wash thoroughly 2-3 times. This removes the starch from the potatoes and prolongs their shelf life. With a low starch content, the chips will keep their shape for a long time.
3. Now boil some water and add salt to it. When the water starts boiling, add pieces of raw potato to it and cook by closing the lid.
tip: The water should be at a full boil when you add the chips, otherwise the slices may cook unevenly. If you put the slices in cold or less boiling water, some chips will sink to the bottom of the pot and cook later than others.
4. Boil the slices for 5-7 minutes, not more than that.
tip: Keep stirring and rotating the slices so that all the slices cook evenly at the same time. Take a spoon and keep turning the chips after 1 minute so that both the sides of the chips get heated by the gas.
5. When froth starts forming in the water, then understand that the slices are cooked.
tip: Another way to tell if the slices are cooked is if the ends curl in slightly. The chips should be crispy and should not break when touched.
6. Remove the slices from the gas, drain the water from the sieve and dry them in the sun for 1-2 days.
tip: Sun drying is a long process but it gives everlasting crispness to the chips. If the weather is pleasant then one day should be sufficient otherwise it may take up to 3 days. Check to see if the chips have hardened to know they are dry enough.
7. Store these chips and fry them whenever you want to consume them.
