Kettle Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and clean the potatoes in cold running water. Using a mandoline, or vegetable peeler, finely slice the potatoes into chips. Drop the chips into a bowl of ice water as you work to prevent them from going brown. This will also remove any excess starch.
• Set a large pot of 75/25 canola and olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic (paper and all) and whole stems of fresh rosemary, sage and thyme. Bring oil up to 375 degrees F. As it heats up the oil will get infused with the garlic and herbs. Once the herbs crackle and get crispy they will go clear and you know they are done. Using a strainer drain the herbs and garlic and set aside on paper towels.
• Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy. Drain the chips, dry well on paper towels and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with crispy fried herbs, garlic and shower with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment; spread chips out in a single layer. In a small saucepan, whisk together cream cheese and milk over medium heat until combined, 2 minutes. Whisk in blue cheese and 1/2 cup Gouda. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and hot sauce.
• Drizzle cheese sauce evenly over chips, then sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Gouda. Bake until bubbly and crisp at edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Top with jalapeno, sour cream, and chives; serve.

Steps:

• 1) Heat oil in cast iron pan, with thermometer in oil to make sure temperature reaches 300 degrees. 2) As oil heats, clean your potatoes and slice with mandolin slicer set to approximately 2mm. Place sliced potatoes in a bowl of water to keep them from turning brown. 3) Remove slices from water and pat dry on paper towels, place enough slices in oil to have one layer covering the surface of the oil. 4) Allow slices to blanch, cooking until they turn from a shiny color to a more matte appearance. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place in a pan lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. 5) After blanching all potato slices, increase the temperature of the oil to between 350-375 degrees. 6) Repeat process of layering chips in the oil, this time cooking them until they turn a golden color (or until crisp with purple or blue potato slices). 7) Remove from oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil, season with your favorite salt while still hot.
