Indulge in the irresistible crunch of homemade sea salt and vinegar potato chips, a perfect snack that combines tangy flavor with a satisfying crunch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a healthier version of this classic treat right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sea salt (plus more for seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife.
2. Soak in Vinegar: Place the potato slices in a large bowl and cover them with water and the white vinegar. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to an hour to enhance the flavor and help remove excess starch.
3. Drain the potato slices and toss with olive oil (if using), sea salt, and black pepper.
4. Bake the Chips: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil (if using) and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
5. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your homemade sea salt and vinegar potato chips as a delicious snack or party treat!
These chips are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a few days—if they last that long!
