Directions for Making Potato Chips:

  • Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. 
  • Using a mandolin, carefully slice chips to about a 2-3 mm thick. 
  • Cover potatoes with water.  Weigh the combined total and add 2% salt.  Mix well. 
  • Cover with Cabbage leaf and leave at room temperature for 24-48 hours. 
  • Drain potatoes. (DO NOT RINSE) 
  • Fill a pot 1/3 full of canola oil, heat on medium to 300.  REMEMBER.  Oil does not like water so make sure your potatoes are well drained! 
  • Add potato slice and gently jostle so they don’t stick together.  When golden and beautiful, remove and drain on a rack.  Try one before you salt them!
