Directions
1
Prepare a 2% salt brine by adding 2 grams of salt for every 100 grams of water needed to cover the chips.
2
Bring the salt brine up to a boil or a simmer.
3
Slice the potato thinly using a mandolin, just thin enough to see through but thick enough to stand up.
4
Keep the sliced potatoes in cold water to prevent oxidation and wash off excess starch.
5
Pour the simmering brine over the sliced potatoes and let it sit for 3 minutes.
6
After 3 minutes, lay out the brined chips onto a paper towel on a wire rack to dry, patting out any excess moisture.
7
Add the dried potatoes to a fryer with oil heated around 325 to 375°F (163-190°C).
8
Move the chips around to prevent them from sticking together.
9
Cook until the chips are golden brown.
10
Once cooked, remove the chips from the oil and let them cool on a wire rack.
11
Add any additional flavoring or seasoning you like, or enjoy them as is.

Tips
The secret to perfect chips is a 2% salt brine.
Pouring hot brine over the potatoes bursts starch molecules for a perfect chip.
Moving everything around in the fryer prevents sticking.
You can use other ingredients like sweet potato, sunchoke, or parsnip.
