FLASHBACK FRIDAY IS HERE AGAIN! ****************************************** Original post date: July 16, 2009 Original link: http://umami-quest.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html ****************************************** POTATO CHIPS so, i still had a lot of potatoes..... and, they were on the verge of spoilage. i hate wasting food, so i thought, "geez, i'm tired of roasted potatoes - what should i do?" i'll make potato chips! i know this is not a pic of potatoes or chips - THIS is a pic of my injury due to bad judgement. using my madoline, i began slicing potatoes. the finger guard wasnt holding it as good as i would like, so i thought "i'll just use my hand and be careful" - i am an idiot. funny enough, i didnt bleed. i was lucky. oh, and the madoline injury is on the tip of my first finger. the band aid on my pinky is from an altercation i had at work..... with a tape dispenser. :P 1. after slicing potatoes thin, heat up about 1/2 a quart of oil (i used canola) on med-high. when oil is hot, throw in potato slices ONE AT A TIME. this will prevent them from sticking together. the chips are ready to take out when: they turn golden brown, and the oil stops making crazy cooking noises. you'll know what i'm talking about when you do it. 2. drain on paper towels and racks if you have them lookin goooooood..... 3. season with a little salt, toss, and EAT. so good.
TIP: to cut the greasy oily-ness of the chips, after you drain them on paper towels, use a salad spinner to get rid of excess oil, THEN season your chips.
