Questions about this recipe
How thin should the potato slices be for this recipe?
Slice the potatoes as thin as possible, ideally with a mandoline, so the 500 g of potato fries evenly into crisp chips.
Why soak the potato slices in water first?
Soaking the slices in the 300 ml of water for 10 minutes removes surface starch so the chips turn out crisp rather than soggy.
Can the seasoning be made ahead?
Yes, mix the 6 g onion powder, 4 g salt and 20 g grated mozzarella in advance and store it in an airtight tin until the chips are fried.
How long do these chips keep?
Store them in an airtight tin and eat within 5 days for the crispest texture.
What oil temperature works for frying the chips?
Heat the groundnut oil to 180 degrees C before frying the potato slices in small batches.
