Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 liters Olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into uniform strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Meanwhile, heat the olive or avocado oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the oil at this temperature.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to prevent oil splatter.
Carefully add a small batch of dried potatoes into the hot oil. Fry them for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Ensure not to overcrowd the fryer.
Remove the chips using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Immediately sprinkle the hot chips with sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for seasoning. Do this while they're still hot to allow the seasoning to adhere better.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining batches, ensuring the oil remains at a steady temperature.
Serve the heart-healthy chips hot, enjoy them as a standalone snack or as a side to your favorite dish.
