      Yesterday my son and I decided to make homemade potato chips. This is not something I had ever done, and it was a fun thing to do together. I don’t think we will be putting Frito Lay out of business any time soon, but they were really good. They tasted much better than they look. A little too good actually, we couldn’t stop munching on them and there were hardly any left when we were done. They say there are no calories if you are standing while you are eating, so it wasn’t that bad 😜

      We peeled some russet potatoes, the potatoes were small so we used six of them. Then sliced them as thin as we could get them.

      I tried using a grater to slice the potatoes but they were coming out too thick so I switched to the sharpest knife I own, which was this small pairing knife. It definitely would have been easier if I owned a larger sharp knife.

      As we were slicing the potatoes we kept putting the finished pieces in cold water to soak. Once they were all sliced we drained them, rinsed them, and put them back in a bowl of cold water with 3 tbsp. of salt and let them soak for 30 minutes.

      We heated canola oil in a pan until it reached 350 degrees.

      Drained and rinsed the potatoes and added them in small batches to the oil.

      Once they browned we transferred the potatoes onto paper towel lined plates and patted them to remove the excess oil. They are browner than we wanted, but they still tasted delicious!

      We made three different kinds; ranch, nacho, and sea salted. For the ranch and nacho I used popcorn seasoning.

      We are already planning on making them again the next time we make turkey burgers. So good!
