Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 3 cups Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Peel the potatoes if desired, or keep the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
Step 2
Using a mandoline or a sharp kitchen knife, carefully slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier chips.
Step 4
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess water, as moisture can cause oil splatters during frying.
Step 5
In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the oil temperature.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a small batch of potato slices to the pan without overcrowding. Fry the slices for approximately 3-4 minutes per batch, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the hot fries while they are still cooling, ensuring the seasoning adheres to the chips.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices. Be sure to allow the oil to return to the correct temperature between batches.
Step 10
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these Paleo Classic Fried Potato Chips on their own or with your favorite paleo-friendly dip.
