Homemade Crinkle-Cut Potato Chips 😋😋

Ingredients
• 4 medium potatoes — about 600 g
• 4 cups water — 950 ml
• 1 tablespoon salt — 15 g
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch — 16 g
• 4 cups vegetable oil — 950 ml, for frying
• 1 teaspoon salt — 5 g, for seasoning
• ½ teaspoon black pepper — 1 g
• ½ teaspoon paprika — 1 g
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder — 1.5 g

Instructions

Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a crinkle-cut slicer, cut them into very thin, even slices.

Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt. Soak for about 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain and rinse the potatoes thoroughly, then spread them on a clean kitchen towel and pat them completely dry.

Toss the potato slices lightly with cornstarch, making sure each slice is thinly coated.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato slices in small batches so they have enough space to crisp up.

Fry until golden, crisp and firm, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or a wire rack.

While still warm, season with salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder.

Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container to keep them crunchy.
