Here’s how to make proper, extra crispy potato chips at home.
Step 1: Slice the Potatoes
We’ll be using a mandoline for this, so be extra careful. Hold the potato in your hand until the piece gets small, and then switch to your safety holder.
After each slice, rotate the potato 90º and slice again. Repeate this process so that every slice has a lattice grid. Add your slices to a bowl with cold water, a little salt, and a pinch of baking soda to remove the extra starch.
Let these drain/dry before adding them to a sheet pan and freezing.
Step 2: Fry the Chips
Preheat oil to 350º. Remove your chips from the freezer, and put them right into the fryer, and let them cook until you reach your desired level of crispiness.
Remove to a wire wrack and immediately sprinkle with salt while they’re hot. Once they’ve cooled a little, add them to a bowl with minced garlic and fresh chopped cilantro.
Give them a good toss and you’re ready to eat.
These are so easy, and you can use this chip recipe as a base for all of your favorite flavors. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

They would be better if they were less crispy
Customer be like : Waiter, where is my order?
Waiter : Sorry for inconvenience but your order is getting uploading on YouTube 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait that actually makes sense, cooking them from frozen state – that way they keep their shape until the crust forms, which continues keeping their shape, instead of getting all limp
Looks nice for some people but not my thing. Good on you!
GIVE ME THOSE RIGHT NOW
His chips are burnt 🤢 and greasy
I'm too nervous to deep fat fry.
Those shits are overcooked social media stop trying to cook ut very bad at it! .
Yeah, don't spend a dollar on a packet of chips… just buy a bottle of oil and a packet of potatoes its way cheaper.
I want to binge eat a hundred of those
where is the tapatio?
U had me there till cilantro lost me.. 😂
could you make a limp biscuit?
Love USA in Canada wow merci Montréal 😊
Chips are much cheaper especially when you count effort, and time.
Get potato, clean them, slice them, freeze them, heat oil and make your house smell disgusting for hours, fry them, and finally eat them.
Or, buy chips from a store, and… that's it
yum
I do know what you are talking about 💀
Yap yap yap
Those things are dangerous I got a bad cut from one my first using it. Definitely use that tool he showed.
Thank you chef
TAPATIO
Just buy it in store 😂
more crispy at the cost of more fat
Also you can season them however to replicate any name brand chips😮
bake em if you want a healthier version. potatoes are great
would an air frier work?
The unhealthy part coelmes from the oil and the potato soaking up that oil… at best this is 400kcal a 100g instead of 500kcal a 100g it's a little difference.
The better way is to use maybe 2 table spoon of oil in a bowl and mix the potatoes and then put them in an air fryer. Much less kcal since 2 table spoon of oil are 240kcal so if you make 200g of potatoes in chips with this method you actually made healthy chips since thats a total of 380kcal for 200g instead of 500kcal for 100g…
burnt
This guy is actually Israeli, just FYI
I’ve done it in a restaurant before where we’d cut potatoes on the slicer and soak overnight in a cambro drain in a china cap and fry and they also turned out crispy. Does the freeze negate the soak?
Anyone afraid of mandolins, a cut proof, stab resistant glove is a total game changer. I had to cut thousands of cucumbers to make pickles, trust.
honestly ill just open a bag of chips
Go down how many times?😂
So I need a machine, a special cutter, a load of oil, a bag of potatoes, time in freezer, time for cooking. I think I'll stick to just buying a few bags.
I love your channel
while watching tv: "honey mhh I've a craving for chips."
"they need to freeze first darling". 🙄
not everything should be homemade dude
Raw garlic on potato chips…ok.
You lost me at mandoline. I'm, uh, not allowed to use those anymore.
