How to make the best homemade potato chips...

After marrying my dear hubby, I had what his family called homemade potato chips.

Making them was my father-in-law’s specialty. And the secret trick he taught me for making them super delicious was to double-fry them.

He introduced me to choosing buttery-tasting Yukon Gold Potatoes sliced to just the right thickness for a hearty chip that crisps up just right.

I also learned that part of the secret to frying the potatoes is to flash-fry them to eliminate moisture and then fry them again to ensure crispness.

The technique makes all the difference. 

You won’t believe how this method changes everything you ever thought you might have known about frying potato chips.

Enjoy!

EQUIPMENT

  • Deep Fryer or Large heavy pot
  • Deep-fry thermometer
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Large bowl
  • Cooling rack
  • Baking sheet

INGREDIENTS
 
 

Try serving with this yummy aioli chip dipping sauce

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Begin by washing Yukon Gold potatoes, cut off any blemishes or bad spots, leaving most of the skin on, then cut them into chunky slices about ¼-inch thick.
  • Place potato slices in a large bowl, toss with salt, pepper, and onion powder, add lukewarm water to cover potatoes completely, and let soak for 30 minutes. Doing this helps to remove excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
  • Heat oil to 325º F in a deep fryer, or use a heavy pot and deep-fry thermometer alternately.
  • Remove the potatoes from the water soak, and pat dry to remove the excess water.
  • Using a fry basket, slotted spoon, or spider strainer, add the potatoes, about two handfuls at a time in batches, to the hot oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chips float and are light-colored but not browned. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and let drain and cool on a wire rack positioned over a tray lined with paper towels. Keep at room temperature for up to a few hours before the final fry to finish them. Repeat until all the potatoes are par-cooked.
  • Meanwhile, make the aioli dipping sauce. Add salsa and mayo in a small bowl, whisk to combine — season to taste, adding a little lemon juice if you like.
  • When ready to finish cooking, heat the oil to 350º F. Return the par-cooked potatoes to the oil, approximately two handfuls at a time, cooking for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon, shaking off excess oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat until all potatoes are twice-fried.

A self-taught Gfree lifestyle expert on [most] gluten-free things, I’ve always loved cooking and creating delicious foods from scratch for myself and those I love.

My journey began when everything I thought I knew about cooking and eating suddenly changed when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

I live in the Holylands of Central Wisconsin. All the recipes you’ll find here are gluten-free and inspired by the people and places I love most. Whenever possible, I cook with seasonal ingredients using fresh whole foods, making dishes suitable for everyday life and bringing food lovers together at the same table. I hope my recipes, and tips can make your life a little easier.

Gfree cooking, maintaining my healthy gut, and wellness are my life. This little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned—where my passion is to nourish every GfreeDeliciously!
