Delicious homemade potato chips made from vibrant purple potatoes, fried to golden perfection. These chips are seasoned with salt and make for a great snack or side.
1: Preheat a large pot of oil to 350°F, making sure not to fill the pot more than halfway.
2: Slice the potatoes on a mandolin about 1/16th of an inch.
3: Transfer the potatoes into a pot filled with cold water. Using your hand, stir the potatoes in the water to release the starches. Discard the water and refill the pot with cold water. Repeat this process 2 more times until the water is clear.
4: Transfer the potatoes onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels and thoroughly pat dry.
5: Working in small batches, fry the potatoes until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the potatoes from the oil and transfer them onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
6: Salt the potatoes while they are still hot. Enjoy!
