- To make the potatoes: Tie the thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine. Put the bundle in a medium saucepan along with the wine and garlic. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and add to the saucepan. Add cold water to cover by 1 inch and the salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and discard the herb bundle.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: In a large bowl combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and season with pepper, to taste. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a smooth dressing.

Steps:
- Very thinly slice potatoes on a mandolin (about 1/16 inch thick). Cover in cold water (separately, if using multiple colors) for 1 hour. Swish potato slices around to release starch, then drain. Repeat until water is no longer cloudy. Spread slices out on kitchen towels and pat dry. Let air-dry 15 minutes.
- Fill a medium heavy pot halfway with extra-virgin olive oil. Clip a candy or frying thermometer to pot and heat oil to 345°. Add a small handful of potato slices and stir to break apart (temperature will drop and oil will vigorously bubble).
- Turn and stir potatoes until bubbling stops completely, about 4 minutes per batch; do not let temperature go above 350°. Remove and drain on paper towels. (If they are still slightly soft in the center after resting a minute, return to oil briefly.) Sprinkle with salt.
- Return oil to 345° between batches. (You can reuse the oil later to make more chips; store it in a tightly covered jar for up to a month.) Chips are best eaten the day they are made, but can be stored, once cooled completely, in an airtight container up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: For a more flavorful chip, use a combination of different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: The thinner the potato slices, the crispier the chips will be. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
- Soak the potato slices in water: This will help to remove excess starch from the potatoes, which will prevent them from sticking together during frying.
- Season the potato chips before frying: You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or paprika. Be sure to season the chips evenly on both sides.
- Fry the potato chips in hot oil: The ideal temperature for frying potato chips is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the chips. Be sure to fry the chips in small batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan.
- Drain the potato chips on paper towels: Once the potato chips are fried, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Conclusion:
Red, white, and blue potato chips are a fun and festive snack that is perfect for any patriotic holiday. They are easy to make and can be seasoned with a variety of flavors. With a little bit of planning, you can make these chips in no time at all.
