Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1000 ml Cold water
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and remove any blemishes or eyes. Peeling is optional based on your preference.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds (approximately 1-2mm thick).
Fill a large bowl with cold water and add the ice cubes. Place the potato slices into the bowl and let them soak for 15 minutes. This helps remove excess starch for crispier chips.
While the potatoes are soaking, mix the paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small bowl. Set the spice blend aside.
After 15 minutes, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. It's essential to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for even cooking.
Carefully add small batches of the potato slices to the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even frying.
Fry the potato slices for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crisps and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the crisps are still hot, sprinkle them with the spice blend to taste. Toss gently to coat each crisp evenly.
Repeat the frying and seasoning process with the remaining potato slices.
Allow the crisps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh for the best taste and texture!
