Making method of instant potato chips.

Step 1:- Firstly, peel the skin of potatoes.

Step 2:- Cut the potatoes into thin slices with the help of chips cutter or any food processor. (if you can cut very thin slices with a knife then you can use a knife)

Step 3:- The slices should be thin and equal in size. The thinner the potato chips, the more crispy the chips will become.

Step 4:- Wash the potato slices nicely in water for 2 or 3 times until the water runs out clean. This will remove any excess starch from the surface. Now, add about a tsp of salt to the bowl, mix well and leave the potato slices for 15 min to soak up in water.

Step 5:- After 10-15 mins, remove the potato slices from the water and leave them to dry on a clean kitchen towel/paper napkins.

Step 6:- Wipe the water from them with a clean cloth. Make sure there are no water drops on potatoes. Otherwise, the oil will splatter.

Step 7:- Meanwhile heat the oil on Kadai. When the oil is a little smoky hot, medium the flame.

Step 8:- Take the sliced potato one by one and put as many chips that can be dipped totally in the oil.

Step 9:- Keep tossing up the potato slices in the oil, until they turn slightly golden and/or crisp.

Step 10:- Remember Do not fry the chips  at high heat else the chips will turn brown too soon. Fry the chips at medium to low flame. stir occasionally and fry on both sides.

Step 11:- Once the potato slices turn crips and slight golden spots start to appear over the edges. this means potatoes have been fried

Step 12:- Take out the fried potatoes in a big bowl. so that it cools down fastly. Potato Chips do not absorb oil so no need to drain them over a kitchen towel.

Step 13:- Fry the rest of the chips in the same way. and take out the same bowl.

Step 14:- Taste the potato chips. if required then you can sprinkle more salt in this stage. and with salt sprinkle some black pepper powder and red chili powder. and mix gently.

Step 15:- Now your potato chips are ready to serve. you can store it in an airtight container or zip lock bag and serve it later with tea or coffee in the evening snack.
