Quick Fix Parmesan Garlic Potato Chips

I am a big chicken wing fan. I’m always trying out new sauces and seasonings. When I tried Parmesan garlic from Croix Valley on wings, I loved it. And I also knew it’d be great on some quick fix potato chips. And, oh me, was it ever! No lightly-flavored lame-o chips here. Each and every chip is PACKED with flavor. As much flavor as you ever wanted and dreamed of! You own this! Herby. Cheesy. Garlicky. Goodness. Quick fix Parmesan garlic potato chips are a big winner.

Quick Fix Parmesan Garlic Potato Chips

There’s nothing complicated going on here. The ‘hardest’ part of making quick fix Parmesan garlic potato chips is being sure that you are nice and gentle with the chips when you toss them to coat them. Don’t be shy with the seasoning. You aren’t making store-bought, lightly seasoned, barely-tasty chips. Go big.

Not that I mean to over-stress it, but I will mention you don’t need any fancy fru-fru chips for this recipe. In fact, I’d stay away from them. You want wavy chips, preferably. And frankly, you want chips that are a bit oily. Yep. Once heated, the chips will release that oil and that’s what you need to get the seasonings stuck on there good!

Homemade Crispy Potato Chips

I’ve tried a number of times to make great homemade deep-fried crispy potato chips. And sometimes they were good, and sometimes they weren’t. Something was missing from my technique, my approach. And I’ve found it: vinegar. Soaking the potatoes in vinegar helps them get nice and crispy, and that’s our goal in life when making chips.

Homemade Crispy Potato Chips

I season my homemade crispy potato chips with seasoned salt instead of ‘just’ kosher salt. You can use anything you like. Fresh ground black pepper is great too. Take a gander at your spice cabinet and you’ll likely find something else that would also be great on chips. Just don’t use anything that is real coarse. You want a fine texture to your seasoning.

I use my Fry Daddy fryer to make these chips.

PS: I use Canola oil for frying my potato chips.

Instructions

  • Skin the potatoes, if desired.
  • Slice the potatoes 1/8" thick using a mandolin. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water.
  • Stir the potatoes around with your hand then drain. Fill will cold water again and stir and drain again. Repeat until the drained water is clear.
  • Cover the potatoes with cold water one last time and add the vinegar. Stir and let rest 2 hours.
  • Drain the potatoes and pat dry. I lay out a few kitchen towels and spread the potatoes out. Then I cover them with more towels and gently push down to dry.
  • Heat oil in your deep fryer to 300 F. (The small deep fryer I used does not let me adjust the temperature. It cooks around 325 – 350 F, and still made great chips).
  • Working in small batches, fry the potatoes, turning often, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to drain and sprinkle with salt.
