Notes

Choosing fresh potato is important when cooking potato chips. So when buying, you should see to it that the potato is firm and not sprouted. When the potato is fresh and you soak the sliced potato in ice water to remove some of the starch content, you are making sure that your potato chips will be crispy.
To keep the crispiness of your chips, remove the excess oil by placing the chips on paper towels right after frying and store them in an airtight plastic container.
Can also be done in an air fryer!
