Homemade Potato Chips are the best.

- Thara 

My weekend routine started as usual this morning — grocery shopping! Its almost like, taking a vacation to do a peaceful shopping (alone) these days!! I secretly do enjoy it.

But, somehow…I kind of forgot to buy my little one’s favorite snack (Jalapeno flavored Kettle cooked chips)! She was pretty mad at me! She kept bugging…that I need to run to the store, again. However I am really not sure…whether its available in the stores, too!! Some of our usual stuff goes out of stock in minutes!

Anyway…I pulled my trick — distracting her with other snacks and treats! To my dismay nothing worked this time!!

Well, its not a big deal for me to pull a stunt by saying ” I could make it at home”. That brought an instant smile on her face. She got really thrilled and even assisted me by washing the potatoes and stuff.

There. Crispy snacks got ready in minutes. So, lets call this “Happy Chips”.

Recipe

Take 2-4 organic potatoes and slice them as thin as possible (I used a peeler). Lay them on kitchen towels. Meanwhile, heat up the kettle and bring the oil to smoky hot. Now, fry these chips till crisp over medium to high heat. Do not crowd the oil, fry only few at a time. Repeat the same for the remaining chips too. Then, sprinkle a dash salt and chili powder to it. Mix gently and serve up in a bowl, while its hot and crisp. Enjoy.
