Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dried onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8-inch) and evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
Step 2
Rinse the potato slices under cold water until the water runs clear, removing excess starch. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine sour cream, onion powder, dried parsley flakes, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
In a heavy-bottomed pan or a fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is sufficient to submerge the potatoes and heated well to maintain the crispiness.
Step 5
Fry potato slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow even cooking. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Using a slotted spoon, remove chips from the oil and transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 7
Place the cooled chips into the bowl with the sour cream and onion mixture. Gently toss the chips until they are evenly coated. Do this in batches if necessary to prevent breaking the chips.
Step 8
Transfer the coated chips to a large bowl or a serving plate.
Step 9
Garnish with finely chopped chives before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two days to retain freshness.
