Virgin explains: When a new batch of potatoes is added, it lowers the temperature of the oil, which means the chips take longer to cook, which results in their irregular shape, darkened parts and thicker texture.
According to ThoughtCo's Mary Bellis, the legend behind the potato chip had its start in thes thanks to George Crum: During his shift, a disgruntled customer kept sending back an order of french fries, complaining that they were too thick. Idaho potatoes are recommended for chips, but you can use any variety you have on hand. Slice potatoes as thinly as desired, placing slices in a large bowl of water to remove excess starch and prevent browning.
A mandolin slicer can be used for a thin, even cut and added convenience. Recommended oils include canola, rice and vegetable since they have little flavor and do not alter the taste of the potatoes.
Canola oil is the healthiest of these options, since it is low in saturated fat and high in heart-healthy omega-3 fat. Transfer potato slices from the large bowl of water to a colander. Shake off excess water, and pat the potato slices dry with paper towels. Submerge potato slices in heated oil, cooking until they appear white and matte. Remove the slices from the oil with a slotted spoon, and place them on a platter lined with paper towels. Do not crowd the potato slices. Cook them in multiple batches with each batch composed of a single layer at the surface of the oil.
Increase the oil heat to degrees Fahrenheit degrees Celsius and re-submerge chips, cooking in batches until they are golden and crisp. Transfer cooked chips with the slotted spoon onto a platter lined with fresh paper towels. Pat chips lightly with additional paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Season chips with salt or your choice of seasoning. Depending on your tastes, you can combine plain salt with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dry mustard, dill or other seasoning mixes.

Lay's potato chips are one of the most popular brands in the US, and if you're of a certain age about 11 and mindset, you might think the name "Lay's" is a little risque and pretty hilarious. Strangely, you wouldn't be entirely wrong. According to Snopes , Herman Lay was one of the first people to make potato chips into a commercial endeavor. He started in the American Southeast, and his product got a major boost in popularity thanks to a bizarre claim.
Whispered rumors claimed the chips had a certain aphrodisiac quality, and that's not the kind of rumor an enterprising salesman would try to squash. The belief in potato's mystical, magical nature went back a long way, at least, says the Smithsonian , to 18th century Europe. It was thought to be an aphrodisiac and to have the power to cure leprosy, which might be the strangest combination of superpowers yet.
It seems pretty logical today: potato chips come in bags. But for decades, people ate their potato chips from baskets, barrels, or tins, and that's a lot of work for everyone. It wasn't until Laura Clough Scudder introduced the idea of packaging chips in bags that the potential to mass-market them on a commercial scale was really possible.
She tasked her employees with some after-hours work, giving them sheets of wax paper and asking them to spend the evening ironing them together to form bags they would fill and seal the next day. Her company was founded in , and those bags were one of the first things she added to the potato chip process. Brilliant, right? Scudder also made her company's name based on freshness, and in order to guarantee that freshness, she also introduced something else to the potato chip world: dates on the bags.
Most early potato chip recipes called for frying the potatoes in lard, and lard is one of those words that just doesn't even sound appetizing. Today, we use oil to fry chip in, and the change came in a super strange way. It was when one-time prizefighter Leonard Japp decided to make his living in a little less physically punishing way, and turned to snack foods.
He's the first one who switched to frying potato chips in oil, and the company was a massive hit thanks mostly to one large client: Al Capone. According to South Side Weekly , Capone had already sampled potato chips in New York, and ever the enterprising businessman, he realized they would be perfect for his Prohibition-era speakeasies.
Japp — who originally started selling chips on the street — climbed the ladder of success, opened factories to produce the number of chips Capone needed, and his oil-fried chips became hugely popular. World War II changed a lot of things, and that includes potato chips. According to Food and Drink in American History , they were originally declared to be a "nonessential food", which meant all potato chip production needed to cease until the end of the war. By this time, there were enough manufacturers that they had the clout to successfully lobby for the change in designation, and getting it overturned was one of the best things that could have happened to the potato chip industry for a few reasons.
