Notes
Potato selection: For the greatest results, use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet. They contain more starch, which contributes to the texture's crispiness.
Slicing thickness: Potatoes should be sliced into thin, even pieces. Chips will fry more quickly and get crispier if the slices are thinner. Slices should be between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.
Soaking the potatoes: Soaking the potatoes will make them crispier and will help remove extra starch from the potato slices. It is advised to soak them for at least 30 minutes, though you are free to soak them for longer if you like.
Drying the potatoes: Drying the potatoes: After soaking, make sure the potato slices are completely dry. Crisping might be hampered by surface moisture. With a kitchen towel or some paper towels, pat them dry.
Oil or cooking spray: Oil or cooking spray: To achieve a crispy texture, lightly cover the potato slices in oil or cook them with cooking spray. Use caution when coating because too much oil can make them oily.
