You asked for it! :) Here's how to make seasonings for potato chips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqfLlmCcaruioLM

[@abdulmueed5819]

Hi, at 15:06 you mentioned "rinsed and dried potato". May I know what did you use to rinse it? Is it just plain water, or a mixture?

[@flashy5150]

I think that the reason why chip companies keep their chips very light and non flavored is because they add artificial flavors to them. If we cook our chips till they burn or brown a little, that wouldn’t taste very good with the artificial flavors. Also, if you read the ingredients on a bag of chips, many of them add MSG(Monosodium Glutamate) to enhance the flavor and it makes you want to eat the whole bag. It does cause stomach discomfort and headaches to many people. The homemade ones are much better for anybody.

It's putting one problematic habit against the other so they cancel each other out: either you put yourself out of your mood of doing nothing trough cooking, or you don't eat junk food because the only option you gave yourself is to make it if you want it, but you don't want to do anything.

[@ferrarirobin]

Enlighten me. What defines 'wet'? It's something i've been wondering for a while now :p

[@noob19087]

@@ferrarirobin I don't have a good definition for 'wet', and I doubt that there even really is one, but I'll try my best. I guess for most people something being wet simply means that it's soaked or covered in water. You can soak things in oil too, but since oil has different properties than water (lower heat capacity, less surface tension, lower density, non polar, et cetera) we humans don't consider it 'wet'. Maybe something with properties similar to water could be considered 'wet' too. Also another big thing is that water is really good at putting out fires, while oil is not. Also water evaporates relatively quickly, while most oils don't, which leads to us considering something being wet a temporary state which resolves itself over time while if you spilled oil on something you'd actively have to get it off.

I've made homemade potato chips before doing the whole vinegar blanching and drying and getting the right temp, in small batches, etc. I honestly was very skeptical that Andong's procedure would work. Well, I just did it and it totally worked. I even cut them pretty thick and they were still super super crunchy. Not only that, but I fried them in my own homemade onion oil after making crispy fried shallots from Andongs other video about onions. Andong you should be proud. The first time you do this, if you're like me, you'll be tempted to take them out too soon out of fear of burning them, but leave them in until they get nice and dark. I took them out as the oil was just a little over 300 degrees, which is quite a change from the typical "preheat oil to 375" standard.

[@perflubon]

Personally, I am a fan of the weirdest flavors you can find among 'regular' potato chips in German supermarkets: Africa, Currywurst, Barbecue, Western, Pulled Pork, Cheese and Onion - whathaveyou. But of course I can also appreciate a good paprika or salt and vinegar version. You should most definitely do a follow up. Why not try to flavor the oil with onion, garlic, chili, rosemary or ginger. For spices I think salt and paprika powder go a long way but how about cumin, oregano or maybe garam masala? I love your videos - the production quality is through the roof, your energy and attitude are great!

I make kettle chips all the time and I agree, the brown ones do taste better. I think it has to do with the caramelization of the sugars which we try to avoid using the vinegar method. The caramelized ones taste better. For cutting, earlier I used to halve the potatoes in the middle and cut really thin slices shaped like a "D" using a serrated knife by hand. I had trained myself by doing this repeatedly so many times that the chips used to be see through. Now I just use a mandolin because it is equally good and also because hand cutting is just too much effort sometimes. Then I wash off the starch until the water starts turning somewhat clear. Then I freeze them for just enough time for the water inside the cells to crystalize and break the cell walls. Usually it means around 2 hours. After that, you put frozen chips into hot oil keeping in mind that the oil will boil over and the frying vessel needs to have enough margin so that it doesn't spill. This makes the temperature of the oil drop and also thaws the chips so that now the water will evaporate easily (the cell walls are already ruptured due to freezing). And I never cooked in small batches. Just keep turning the chips frequently for even cooking. fry until golden brown and crisp. Keep in mind that even after you remove them from the oil, the chips will turn further darker brown outside the oil as they continue to cook in their own residual heat, so remove them slightly before you think they have achieved the correct color. Salt to taste and enjoy.

Sometimes I make potato crisps myself and I can only confirm it is worth it! Since, I am a huge fan of paprika flavoured crisps, I season mine with smoked sweet or smoked spicy paprika powder from Spain, and salt. This is so fantasic! Beside that, I really love your videos because you do not just cook, no, you give us so much background information which makes it so much better! When you try to invent something new or to enhance/evolve existing dishes, it is also very cool. Perhaps you should try to make crisps from rice. There are these rice crisps by Pringles, but the contain potato flour as well. Maybe it is possible to produce them without any trace of potato. I am already looking forward to your next videos! Thanks for the infotainment!

[@miah5543]

Can confirm, I picked up smoked paprika powder in the UK and putting it on any kind of potato has been life changing

[@Ratsnacker]

I also make paprika. I have several pre-mixed with salt for this very purpose!

[@kretieg2943]

In the UK, you name the potato snacks based on the end result. In America, they are named for the cutting process used to make them. The head of a potato chipper looks much like the head of wood chipper. You have a rotating head with embedded blades preset to the desired depth. You feed the potatoes/wood to it as it spins. The result is wood chips or potato chips or anything else you choose to chip. The cut potatoes remain chips both before and after cooking.

Brilliant Video, kettle chips all the way for me although, The main reason I like chips is not just because of the crisp, but mainly for the seasoning the use, I was addicted to the stuff and would lick it from the crisp like it was an oreo! Please make an episode about how to make and more importantly apply the seasoning flavour like they do in the factory, that would be a great video too :)

My asian pallette loves the lay's wasabi ginger, garden tomato & basil, and hot dill pickle! Something tangy and strongly aromatic, but not salt and vinegar, which i think taste like salt with citric acid. Those are all flavours that are hard to recreate at home while some even discountinued.

[@katnipkatnips]

I respect the amount of research you put into this and the enthusiasm. 😃

how about this: drop in some thyme or rosemary and garlic cloves (softly crushed) into that cold oil to infuse it, and leave it there as temperature rises and cooks the chips

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

You'd have to keep it all in a bundle or muslin bag - remove it before it burns, or it will taste *far* worse than burned potatoes. Even then, a lot of the volatile compounds from them may burn before the potatoes are done... but it could be worth a try to see what happens!

[@BigHenFor]

Dust the freshly cooked crisps with cheese and garlic powder

[@huckthatdish]

Honestly garlic powder and chopped rosemary tossed on after cooking would be plenty delicious on its own

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 because of the thickness and structure (is not pure starch as the chips) it shouldn't burn before chips are done. However if they do, course remove them. This technique is very used with steaks on a pan with butter (which burns also). But in kettle cooking is with low temp, it shouldn't happen. I haven't tried yet, I could be wrong, though

The quality of the taste also depends on the fat that you use at frying. My favourites are coconut, olive and flaxseed oil. I also use sunflower oil occasionally but in small amounts.
