Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Uniform thickness ensures even cooking.
Step 3
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and achieve crispiness.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a cloth or paper towels. It's important to remove as much moisture as possible.
Step 5
In a large skillet or a wide frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil coats the bottom evenly but isn't smoking.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato slices in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Fry the potatoes until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip them using a slotted spatula to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Use the slotted spatula to transfer the cooked chips onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Immediately sprinkle the freshly cooked chips with sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to evenly coat them while they're still hot.
Step 10
Allow the chips to cool for a few minutes before serving to enhance their crunchiness.
Step 11
Serve your heart-healthy fried potato chips as a standalone snack or alongside your favorite heart-healthy dip.
