Description
Make homemade, crispy Cheddar Sour Cream Potato Chips. This recipe offers a comforting, family-friendly alternative to store-bought snacks, perfect for after-school treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large Russet Potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 cup Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese finely shredded
- 1/3 cup Sour Cream
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Boil potatoes in a large pot until very tender.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drain potatoes, add to a bowl, and add cheese, sour cream, and salt. Mash until super creamy. Let the mixture cool.
- Take about one teaspoon of the potato mixture, roll it into a ball, and then press it flat onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. Spread the rounds as thin as you can to achieve crispiness. Wipe your hands after every couple of chips to reduce stickiness, or use a spatula to flatten them. Continue with all of the potatoes.
- Bake the potato rounds for 15 minutes. Cool them, then gently remove them from the parchment paper with a spatula.
- Heat 2-3 cups of vegetable oil in a deep saute pan until the oil reaches about 300 degrees or when it bubbles around a wooden spoon.
- Fry the potato slices in batches for 1-2 minutes until they start to brown. Flip them if necessary, especially if your chips are thicker.
- Remove the chips from the oil and drain them on paper towel lined plates. Keep only two layers per plate. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks. Re-crisp chips after one day by placing them on a baking sheet under the broiler for 15-30 seconds.
Notes
- Wiping your hands after every couple of chips will make your hands less sticky when flattening the chips out.
- For extra crispiness, make the potato rounds as thin as possible.
- You can re-crisp stored chips by placing them under the broiler for 15-30 seconds.
