What goes better with burgers than fried potatoes? These fried potato chips are definitely a
crowd-pleaser at our house! I like to serve them with my Homemade Greek Burgers and my Homemade Tzatziki Sauce for a fun Greek-inspired meal.
Yield: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
1-quart oil, such as olive oil or vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon salt
Ice and Water
Directions
Place peeled and sliced potatoes into a large bowl with ice, water, and salt. Soak for about 30 minutes.
Drain potatoes and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, bring oil to a temperature of 365 degrees.
Working in small batches, carefully add potatoes to hot oil. Fry potatoes for approximately 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove potatoes from Dutch oven with a metal slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
Continue working in small batches until all chips have been cooked.
Notes
I use a standard box grater with slicing slits on the side like this one.
You could also make short work of slicing by using a food processor with a slicing attachment. The old-fashioned way of a sharp knife also works, just be very careful!
Soaking the potatoes before frying will help to draw out the starch from the surface and prevent the sugars from browning before the potato is cooked, resulting in crispy chips that don’t stick together during the frying process.
