FAQS
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used for a different flavor profile. Adjust cooking time as they may fry faster.
How do I store leftover chips?
Store them in an airtight container to keep them crispy for up to 2 days.
Can I bake the chips instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) until crispy, but they may not be as crunchy as fried chips.
What oil is best for frying?
Neutral oils like vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil work best for frying potato chips.
Can I skip soaking the potato slices?
Soaking helps remove excess starch, making the chips crispier. Skipping this step may result in less crispy chips.
