Ask Dr. Potato:  I'm having friends over to watch the winter games and I'd love to serve fresh Idaho® potato chips. How do I make them?

A: Start with a russet Idaho® potato. The russet works well because of its high starch and low moisture content. Who wants soggy chips? No one!

Follow these four simple steps for delicious Idaho® potato chips:

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices. Immediately rinse and place them in chilled water. When you are ready to bake the slices, dry them using a salad spinner or a towel.
  2. Once dry, bake them at 450° F on a Silpat or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or an aluminum tray lightly coated with oil. You can also fry the chips in a stovetop pan with oil hot enough to keep the chips from absorbing too much of it. In a commercial fryer, that temperature is typically 350° F. (If the oil is smoking, it's too hot.) 
  3. When finished frying/baking, place chips on a metal grid lined pan or on paper towels to drain any excess oil off the chips.
  4. Enjoy!
