Homemade crispy potato chips: A crowd-pleaser for any gathering

Potato bites in aromatic spices are a hit at every party. No matter how many you prepare, they disappear down to the last crumb. No one will miss store-bought chips. Luckily, you can easily prepare them in your kitchen.

Potatoes are versatile vegetables because you can prepare many delicacies from them. We go crazy for fries, fry potato pancakes, make smooth purée, or roast them on a campfire. This recipe is not just a side dish for the main course but a standalone snack that delights from the first crunch.

All you need are a few simple ingredients and some time for frying. The delight of crispiness is definitely guaranteed. They are perfect for parties, family movie nights, or board game gatherings with friends.

Served with various sauces, such as garlic sauce, ketchup or mayonnaise, they will be a hit at any party. You can also season them with other spices, such as ground chili pepper, which will add spiciness. Crispy homemade potato chips taste so good that you'll forget about the store-bought ones.

Ingredients:

• 3 large potatoes, preferably type C,
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika,
• 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic,
• 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence,
• 1 teaspoon salt.

Instructions:

Step 1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly, but do not peel them. Cut into thin slices, preferably using a mandoline slicer. Transfer to a bowl of cold water and set aside for 20 minutes. This will remove excess potato starch and make the chips even crispier.

Step 2. Wrap each potato slice in a roll and skewer it on a long skewer stick. Dip the sticks in hot oil and fry until golden brown. Carefully remove the potatoes using metal tongs.

Step 3. Lay the fried chips on a paper towel to remove excess oil, then transfer to a bowl, removing the skewer stick. Sprinkle with spices and mix thoroughly. Serve alone or with your favourite dip. Enjoy!
