How to prepare homemade salted chips
1. Peeling and slicing potatoes
First, wash and peel the potatoes. You can use a special grater to slice or cut the potatoes yourself. The thinner the slices, the crispier your potato chips will end up being.
Tip: If you want to turn potatoes with the skin into potato chips, rub the skin well with a dishwashing brush so that no lumps remain on the potatoes.
2. Soaking potatoes in water and ice
After you’ve sliced the potatoes, fill a bowl with water and ice cubes. Then pour the potato slices into the bowl, so that the water and ice cover the entire surface of the potatoes. This will remove the starch from the potatoes and prevent them from browning and burning during frying.
Allow the potatoes to stay in the water and ice mixture for 30 minutes, then remove them from the bowl and dry them well with a kitchen towel.

3. Fry the potatoes
After making sure that the potatoes are dry, pour the liquid oil for frying into the pot and put it on the heat.
After the oil is completely hot, add the potatoes in several stages. That is, fry a part of the potatoes first, then take them out of the pot and throw the next batch into the oil. This will prevent them from sticking together.
During frying, shake the potato slices so they don’t stick together. Then, remove the potatoes, which are now fried and crispy, from the pot and put them on a metal grid or a dish with a special oil _absorbent paper on the bottom, so that the excess oil can be removed well.
After the chips have cooled, put them in a large bowl, then add salt and spices of your choice and shake the bowl a few times until all the chips are flavored. Your homemade chips are ready. Enjoy your meal!

Frequently asked questions on how to make homemade salted chips
In this article, we tried to teach you how to prepare salty chips at home in the simplest way. In the following, we will answer some of your common questions in this field.
How to prepare homemade salted chips in the oven or air fryer?
To prepare homemade salted chips in the oven or air fryer, follow the same instructions for preparing potatoes. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Spread a baking sheet on the oven tray and spray cooking oil. Put the dried potato slices in a large bowl and add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt, then mix the potato slices well until they are completely oiled and salted. Then arrange them on a tray and cook them in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
What is the reason why the chips remain soft and not crispy?
For two reasons, your chips may not become crispy after frying and remain soft and doughy. The first reason is that you did not dry the potato slices well after soaking them in water and ice. The second reason is not properly cooling the chips after frying. Do not stack the chips after removing them from the oil. Instead, spread them on a metal grid to remove excess oil and cool them down.
