Many people like chips. Indeed, the potato, from which they are, in fact, made, is an unchanging product on our table. The only sad thing is that there is so much chemistry in the purchased chips. Glutamate sodium alone is worth what, but it is most often used to give any dish, not necessarily chips, a rich aroma. In addition to making the chips taste like mushrooms or bacon, not-so-natural products are also used. In general, whatever one may say, you need to indulge yourself with purchased chips as little as possible. And yet without your favorite treats you will not stay. Now I will tell you about how to make chips at home. Only at first glance it may seem that this is a complex process. After reading the article to the end, you will see the opposite.
How to make chips in the oven
I note right away that you can cook chips not only in the oven, but also in a pan, as well as in the microwave. In general, choose the method that suits you the most. So, in order to make chips in the oven, you will need, in fact, potatoes, salt and a small amount of vegetable oil.
Peel the potatoes, wash them, and dry them slightly with a towel. Take a sharp knife and cut it into thin slices. The finer you can cut, the tastier the chips will be. We move on. Now put the pieces in a bowl and fill them with such an amount of oil so that it only lubricates them, but does not accumulate at the bottom. I think two teaspoons will be enough. Although, of course, it all depends on how much you are going to cook chips.
Line the bottom of the baking sheet with foil, put slices of potatoes on it and sprinkle with salt. You can, of course, use salt and other seasonings directly when the chips are ready. Here, too, you decide for yourself what is the best way to act.
By the way, to avoid sticking potatoes to the foil, it is advisable to sprinkle the latter with a special food spray. Bake potatoes at a temperature of 200 ° C until it is covered with a crisp. As you know, the cooking time in different ovens may vary slightly.
How to make chips in a pan
Actually, there is nothing complicated here either. Do the same manipulations with the potatoes that are described just above. Then pour the vegetable oil into the pan and lay out the slices. Fry until golden brown. Chips cooked in a pan also turn out delicious, and they are prepared much faster than in the oven.
How to make chips in the microwave
If you've never cooked in the microwave before, then start by making chips. Actually, that could be simpler. Peel the potatoes, cut into thin slices, gently mix with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then put it on a plate (how much will fit, but just do not put slices on top of each other) and put in the microwave. Bake chips at full capacity until cooked.
How to make banana chips delicious and fast
You already know how to make chips using potatoes for these purposes. It turns out that no less tasty chips can be made from bananas. Surely you have already seen such a dish on sale. So, to make such exotic chips, peel a banana, then cut into thin slices and put in a pan with warmed vegetable oil. The banana is fried until golden brown.
