Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Start by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes. Ensure they are clean and free of dirt.
Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the potatoes into uniform thin slices, approximately 1/16 inch thick.
Place the potato slices into a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch and prevent them from browning. Let them soak for 10 minutes.
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Dry slices will ensure better crisping.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
Add the dried potato slices to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the oil mixture.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, arrange a single layer of potato slices in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the potato slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the cooked chips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Continue cooking the remaining slices in batches.
Sprinkle additional salt or other seasonings to taste if desired before serving.
Serve the chips fresh and warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your low fat classic fried potato chips!
