Sun Dried Potato Chips Recipe | Urulaikizhangu Vathal with step-by-step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please do SUBSCRIBE to my channel ‘Asmallbite’. These Sun dried potato wafers are very popular across India, very simple stuff, that anyone can make! Just 4 ingredients are what you need to make these homemade potato wafers – potato, salt, cooking soda, and water that’s all. The process too is so simple, I myself was reluctant to share it as a blog post. Slice the potatoes, blanch, dry for few days, deep fry and toss it up with chilli or pepper powder. Once prepared in a large batch it can be stored for 6 months and fried whenever needed, this wafer will definitely become your family’s favorite movie time snack. If interested, check my other recipes like Raw Banana Chips, Nendran Chips, and Bitterguord Chips.

✔ Choosing the potato

  • Select red-colored potato (covered with mud) usually called chips potato, which lends more crispiness. Yet, the regular cream coloured ones can be used.

✔ Tips to get perfect crispy wafers

  • Keep the sliced wafers immersed in salted water for 45 minutes
  • Then, rinse the wafers thoroughly 3-4 times. These steps remove the starch content from the potatoes, which yields crispiness.

✔ Suggested Blanching Time

  • Just blanch the wafers for 2 to 3 minutes only, else it breaks or turns mushy

✔ Can I skip cooking soda, while blanching the potato wafers?

  • A big No!  as baking soda breaks down the potato’s pectin and draws the starch to the surface. It promotes even browning and lends perfect crispiness.

Notes

Tips for Urulaikizhangu Vathal Recipe

  1. I used red-colored potato (covered with mud) usually called chips potato. Actually, It gives more crispiness to the chips than the regular cream-colored potato.
  2. Furthermore, use a sharp slicer, to get a thin and crispy Urulaikizhangu Vathal.
  3. Resting the sliced potato wafers in salted water for 45 minutes is a must to remove the starch content and lends crispy chips.
  4. If using regular potato, keep immersed in water for a minimum of 1 hour.
  5. After resting the potato wafers in salted water, rinse them well 3 to 4 times to avoid browning and to remove the starch.
  6. Don't blanch the potatoes for more than 2 to 3 minutes, else it breaks or turns mushy.
  7. Never skip baking soda while blanching the potato wafers as it lends nice crispiness to the Sun Dried Potato Chips Recipe. 
  8. After blanching the potato wafers, drain the water thoroughly and then dry.
  9. Always use a clean white cloth to dry the vathal (after the 1st day, can transfer to a plate). Never use a stainless plate or tray as the wafers stick to it.
  10. For longer shelf life, dry the vathal in full sunlight for at least 3 to 4 days, so fungus will not be formed.
  11. It stays good for 6 months when stored in a clean and dry container.
