Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin, even slices about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick.
Step 2
Fill a large bowl with cold water and submerge the potato slices in it. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispier chips.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
Step 4
In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature, as maintaining the right temperature ensures the chips cook evenly.
Step 5
Working in small batches, carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Season immediately with sea salt to taste.
Step 7
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batches of potato slices.
Step 8
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy plain or with your favorite Whole30 compliant dips!
