How to make potato chips at home / Potato chips recipe with step by step pics and a short YouTube video. I have made this potato chips so many times in my kitchen, but never thought of making it as a post, till my daughter insisted. I usually make it for get togethers, for my kids class party and sometimes as a sidedish for sambar or variety rice too, if I run out of veggies or not in a mood to prepare anything elaborated. The main secret to make crispy chips is to properly rinse the potato slices to remove the starch content, which yields white coloured and crispy chips. I suggest to use, red potato covered with mud, also known as ‘Chips Potato‘, not the regular cream coloured potato. However, if you don’t have chips potato in hand, go ahead with the regular ones, but you have to keep it immersed in water for minimum 1 hour to get crispier chips. Read the recipe till the end, so it will be easy to understand….
