Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin, even slices about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick.
Fill a large bowl with cold water and submerge the potato slices in it. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispier chips.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature, as maintaining the right temperature ensures the chips cook evenly.
Working in small batches, carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Season immediately with sea salt to taste.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batches of potato slices.
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy plain or with your favorite Whole30 compliant dips!
