Garlicky Potato Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons minced garlic in a pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil until golden, 2 minutes. Let cool, then strain the oil. Slice 2 unpeeled russet potatoes into thin rounds with a mandoline; rinse with cold water and pat dry. Toss the potatoes with the garlic oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working in batches, spread the potatoes on 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees F until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool until crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on baking sheet. Coat potato slices with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are browned and crisp. (If any slices brown more quickly than others, remove them from baking sheet and keep warm.) If desired, garnish with snipped fresh chives.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, garlic, and the 1 teaspoon kosher salt in an 8-quart pan and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a gentle boil and cook until the potatoes are just tender. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and stir over medium heat for 1 minute to dry the potatoes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the cornmeal and the parsley and mash everything together with a potato masher, leaving the mixture chunky.
• Whisk together the egg, egg yolk, milk, and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Form the chilled potato mixture into 16 cakes about 3/4 inch thick. Put the remaining 5 tablespoons cornmeal in a shallow dish and coat the potato cakes in the cornmeal.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the potato cakes, in batches, and brown them on both sides.
• Transfer the potato cakes to a baking sheet and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• With a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes about 1/16-inch thick. You should have about 6 cups. Place the potato slices in a large bowl and rinse with cold water until the water runs clean. Thoroughly dry the potatoes, first in a salad spinner, then on paper towels. This is important because any moisture left on the potatoes will cause the oil to splatter. Pour the oil into a 6-quart heavy bottomed, straight-sided saucepan, 8 to 10 inches in diameter. The oil should be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2- inches deep and the pan no more than a quarter full. This prevents any bubbling over when frying the potatoes. Heat the oil to 315 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. (To check the temperature without a thermometer, drop a small piece of bread the size of a crouton into the oil. It should float to the surface and lightly brown in about 2 minutes) Carefully fry the potato slices in 2 or 3 batches until light brown and crisp. You will need to stir the potatoes with a slotted spoon almost constantly to ensure even cooking. Each batch should take 15 to 20 minutes to cook. (If the potatoes brown in much less time, the oil is too hot. This will result in a chip that is neither cooked through nor crisp.) As you remove each batch of crisp potato chips, place them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels. When all the potatoes are done, place them in a mixing bowl large enough to hold them comfortably. Over a medium flame, heat the butter and garlic over the potatoes, add the chopped parsley, salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to crush the chips. Serve hot. The chips can be made several hours in advance. Store in a tightly closed container and reheat in a 350 degree oven until hot. Toss with the seasoned garlic butter at the last minute.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
• Melt one tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
• Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it's softened but not browned- about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and cool.
• Whip the remaining four tablespoons butter until fluffy, fold in cooked garlic.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• (Be careful with the salt, as the chips might have a lot of their own.) Gently toss the garlic butter with the chips in a large bowl.
• Arrange chips in a single layer on a baking sheet (I line mine with baking parchment).
• Bake until fragrant and golden, about 4 to 7 minutes.
• (Watch them carefully- they'll burn quickly.) Serve hot.
