vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier but can be more expensive.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen potato slices

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients, while frozen slices are convenient.

salt

🥗Healthier: sea salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Sea salt has a different flavor profile and texture.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Smoked paprika adds depth without breaking the bank.

Peel the new potatoes and place them in water while peeling the others.

Use a slicer on the thinnest setting to slice the potatoes directly into a bowl of water.

If you don't have a slicer, use a peeler to create thin slices, though it may take longer.

Lay the potato slices on a cotton cloth to remove excess water and pat dry, leaving them for 5 minutes.

Mix 1/4 cup water with 1/2 teaspoon salt to create a salt water solution for flavoring the chips.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan and keep the flame high.

Once the oil is hot, add the potato chips and fry until they are about 60% done and the edges start to curl.

Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the salt water to the hot oil while frying the chips, being cautious of splashes.

Lower the flame and remove the chips from the oil to prevent them from becoming red while taking them out.

Repeat the frying process for the remaining potato slices.
