How you cook your potato chips depends on a number of different things: what equipment you have, how much time you want to take, and what kind of potato chips you like.
In general, deep-fried potato chips turn out crispier and more oily, while baked potato chips are often drier and crunchier. Microwave potato chips, while still good, are often made by people who want their potato chips quickly. So i’ve posted all the three methods.
Ingredients
- Potato – 2 nos (medium)
- Chat masala – 1/2 tsp (increase according to ur taste)
- Red chilly powder – 1/4 tsp (-do-)
- Amchoor powder /Dry mango powder– a pinch (optional)
- Salt – as needed
- Oil – To deep fry.
Preparation:
- Wash your potatoes thoroughly with cold water and dry them with a paper towel.
- Peel the potatoes using a potato peeler .
- Cut the potatoes into thin slices using either a sharp kitchen knife or a vegetable slicer(i used one of the designed moulds in the slicer).
- In a plate or bowl, mix the chat masala ,salt and red chilly powder together and set aside.
1.DEEP FRY METHOD:
- Pour 2 cups of oil into a frying pan and heat it.
- Add a batch of potato slices at a time to frying pan and cook for 2 – 3 minutes or until the chips are firm and browned by flipping it in the middle(or until the bubbles get ceased).
- Remove the chips from the frying pan and let them dry out on a paper towel.
- Now add the mixed powder to it when its hot.Shake the bowl well for even mixing(take care the chips should not break)
- Repeat this process for all of the potato slices that you’ve cut.
2.BAKED:
- Coat the potato slices with oil by hand or with a sauce brush.
- Sprinkle them with powder which we have kept ready.
- Pre-heat your oven to around 400 degrees F.
- Place the potato chips on a baking tray (evenly spaced out).
- Bake the potato chips for 10 – 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Flip them over halfway through the baking.
- Take them out of the oven, let them cool off, and serve.
- Sprinkle more powder if required.
3.MICROWAVE METHOD:
I’ve tried 1st & 3 rd method.2nd one yet to try,i took this method from a site.I would say ,MW method is the best among the two methods which I’ve tried ( donno about bake method) because it consumes very less oil and turns out more crispy and can be quickly prepared.The crispness remains the next day too.But if the quantity is more,u should do it in batches.
I learnt this recipe from my best friend Shalini, who is very close to my heart and always there to share my joys & sorrows. We are friends from our college days and is continuing now. Yes , she is also settled in Bangalore:). God has blessed me with such a nice friend 🙂
I used to ask her for different snacks & side dishes .This snack brought me a good name from my husband and FIL.. She gave me the confidence to cook:)
Now coming to the recipe, you all may be thinking how a salad could be crunchy ?.yes, its a salad made with KURKURE. I think most of you do this in weekends;) Crunchy kurkure pieces in between the grated vegetables tastes excellent..:)
Very simple ingredients and can be made in a jiffy. Tastes great and healthy too:)
Ingredients:
- Kurkure – 1 small packet ( Any flavor is ok) ( I used green rajasthani )
- Grated carrot – 1 cup
- Grated big onion –3/4 cup
- Grated beetroot – 1/2 cup (increase if you like adding it more)
- Lemon juice – few drops.
- Coriander leaves – to garnish.
- Salt ( Optional )
Method:
- Grate all the vegetables and keep aside.
- Break the kurkure into small pieces in a bowl.
- Just before serving,mix all the grated veggies with broken kurkure pieces and add 2 –3 drops of lemon ( Don’t add more,it will become bitter) in a big vessel and mix it well.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
- Transfer the contents to the serving bowl with a spoon!!.
Tastes great with coffee/Tea!!
love your kitchen clinic section great idea
Wow, crispy chips! I like the idea of baking and microwaving the chips, thanks for the wonderful idea Chitra 🙂 Yummy salad too!
Loving the crunchy salad, chips are great too. Only Frito Lays I buy is plain lightly salted ones for Bisibele Bhath. We don’t eat those as snacks, too salty for our liking! 🙂
Great idea to use microwave to make chips,will try it out today.

Rice Bran Oil is the best oil to use for deep frying. It is great for homemade chips and they don’t taste greasy.
I would have thought that baking would be the less-oily option so it’s surprising that microwaving is actually better. Thanks so much for doing the research and testing for us (although I imagine it wasn’t too difficult eating those delicious-looking chips!)
potato chips in MW is a nice idea. I have to try this. Thanks Chitra! Kurkure in salad is interesting. I tasted kurkure only once, and loved it.
lot of hard work, but paid off…chips looks perfect.
Thanku all frnds 🙂
