FAQS

  1. Why do we use saltwater in this recipe?

    Saltwater enhances the flavor of the chips and helps them crisp up further during frying.

  2. Can I use a knife instead of a potato slicer?

    Yes, but a potato slicer ensures even and thin slices, which fry better and more evenly.

  3. What type of potatoes work best for chips?

    Starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho are ideal for making crispy chips.

  4. Can I use an air fryer instead of deep frying?

    Yes, you can use an air fryer, but the texture might differ slightly from deep-fried chips.

  5. How do I store leftover chips?

    Store leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
