    If you put the potato slices into a colander or strainer and then dip into a large bowl and agitate/swirl the the colander a few times the process of removing starch goes a little faster!
    Thanks for this video as it is a great help to those who cannot eat store bought chips due to their sodium content!

      You can greatly decrease the amount of salt if you use MSG too. (it's not the 'boggy man' that they scared you with back in the 80's. It's very safe in small, average quantities)

    This is almost how I make them. _EXCEPT....._
    I fry twice. Once cooked about half way through at 280 to 290 degrees, and again after they've COMPLETELY cooled at 400 until done. _'Double frying'_ is a trick used for many fried foods, from chicken to french fries, because the second high heat drives off any oil.
    I've also found giving the finished (and salted) chips a good shake in a brown paper bag works better then draining on paper towel. (but if you've done the second fry right, there won't be much oil to drain off)

      Thank you, Valerie. I rinse & soak for 2hrs. The slices are batch fried after drying, 1/2 potato makes a batch. My frier is the FryDaddy+ which has no temp control but tops @ 385. Slices are twice fried w/skin on. First fry temp settles@325 for 7 min. Leave in basket & cool 15min. Second fry is time to reach color, crispness. Drain & season for perfect chips, fin temp 382.

    I have never tried boiling as my approach is twice fry. Get cooking area organized & there will be no mess. Potato soak after slicing w/water changes is 2hrs. Divide into batch size and dry before 1st fry, leave in basket w/2nd fry in 15min. Pull & season when color & crispness are acquired. (See Reply to Valerie below)

      You can slice the potatoes by hand; a mandoline just makes it faster and easier. If you're slicing by hand, make sure you have a VERY sharp knife with a thin blade; a Victorinox chef's knife is perfect. Take your time to insure even thickness of the slices.

The cost of the tuber for the manufacturer is probably not even 10¢, not counting oil, fuel, etc. the whole deal costs them not even 20¢ if that much and all these millions of fools paying say $2.00. Completely ridiculous!!! As for home made, the wasted 1 / 2 gallon of oil is environmentally a waste. Yes I love it but I rarely purchase it and I will not make it at home!!!

      It’s really not a lot lol. Plus it tastes way better than any store bought chips you can get. I am an accountant by profession but I prefer making most of my foods from scratch as much as possible. I make my own stock, grind my own flour, pasta, bread etc. I don’t cook 24/7 and sometimes it gets incredibly busy at work due to tax season etc. With modern technology like slow cookers, freezers, food processors, blenders, etc. makes it very possible to do all this while doing other things. You just have to be willing to do it for both your health and tastebuds.

      ​@@SummeRain783exactly! I'm retired now but I was a very busy tattoo artist and I still made time to make my children's food from scratch as much as possible. And recently there was a huge scandal with tons of Organic baby food products being recalled for high levels of arsenic and lead. You really don't know what's in your food unless you make it yourself!
