Crispy potato chips

[suva27]

I have tried lot of methods to get my potato chips crispy. Finally I can make them crispy. I would like to share my tips so you gals dont have to go through trial and error method.
take a bowl of water and add tablespoon of buttermilk and salt. Cut thin pieces of potato, and throw the slices in the bowl of buttermilk and water. remove it out from water and spread on a paper napkin or towel for 10 minutes until all the extra moisture is absorbed from the potatoes. Deep fry in hot oil and enjoy crispy yummy chips with sauce.

Suva, may be I can use this trick while I am making french fries. I make french fries more often than potato chips.

Thanks a lot for the tip! :)
one of my friends told me to fry it in pomace olive oil... is it any good?

[nikita]

Tanuja, oilive oil is not good for deep frying as it burns very easily. olive oil is good for shallow frying.

i have always felt the oil boiling consistancy has more to do with chips than other method but must give it a try as u have experienced doing this and posted here

Sunkan, how do you manage oil boiling consistency when frying chips?

[malspie]

We use lemon juice instead of butter milk. Even that works and also helps to keep the potatoes retain the colour

Thanks for the tips sakhis.

there is nothing much tulip once it has boiled the chips that are fresh direct into the oil tend to bring down the temperature so one has to wait for it to come to the same level the next time but while frying pakoda one has to be careful that the oil does not heat up or u will find it burnt quick before it could fry well...
