Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips
These Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips were everything I had hoped they would be. Delicious! I mean really really delicious. Easy. Crispy.
Through the years, I have tried to make the perfect potato chip but my chips would either be soggy or too thick. The taste was always amazing but true chips are crunchy!
Finally, I have found a way to make a chip that is full of flavor and crunchy. The fun thing about this recipe is that you can make sour cream & onion chips or choose to make your own flavor! My hubby just loves regular salty chips.
Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips
Ingredients:
1/4 cup plus 3 teaspoons kosher salt
3 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed, washed, and thinly cut on a mandolin (about 1/10thof an inch)
8 cups peanut oil3 tablespoons buttermilk powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
Directions:
- Whisk together 8 cups water with 1/4 cup of the salt. Place the sliced potatoes into the water-and-salt solution and let soak for at least 20 minutes. After they have soaked, dry on paper towels or dish towels. They will still be a little wet.
- Heat the oil a large skillet to 350 degrees. Whisk the buttermilk powder, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, and the remaining 3 teaspoons salt.
- In handful-size batches, fry the potatoes until they just turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss immediately in a large bowl with some of the spice mixtures. We used a plastic bag to toss the chips and it worked well.
- Then place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle them again with some of the spice mixtures.
- Hold them in a semi-airtight container for a few days, if you can stand it that long.

I love chips (my downfall) and I would love to make these. I so need to get myself a good mandolin to cut thin potatoes :-).
They are so good!
Yum! These look great. I've never made homemade chips before, but what a great alternative to the pre-packaged junk. HEY! You just gave me a great idea; why not may PALEO sweet potato chips?!

I love your idea! I'm so excited to be added to your list!
Homemade chips is one thing that I haven't tried. I'm afraid that I would like them much too much 🙂
Wowwwww
I love potato-chips (well, who doesn't ?!) but never ever tried to make them at home.
I would so much like to try
I've never seen here buttermilk powder though……
buttermilk powder is in the baking aisle. I think it was by the dry milk.
Yum! never seen a recipe like this!
