Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Additional sea salt, for seasoning
Directions
- Slice the potatoes into thin even slices using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water.
- Add the white vinegar to the bowl and let the potatoes soak for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Working in small batches, carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil and fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle the hot chips generously with sea salt while they are still oily.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining batches of sliced potatoes.
- Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. They will become even crispier as they cool down.
- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
