BUBBLE POTATO CHIPS RECIPE BY TASTY



Bubble Potato Chips Recipe by Tasty image

The crispy potato chips puff up as they fry so that they are hollow in the middle. They are crazy fun to make and eat and pair well with your favorite dip-we like this zesty bacon-packed crème fraîche!

Provided by Codii Lopez

Categories     Sides

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups neutral oil, for frying
1 lb russet potato, scrubbed
¼ cup cornstarch
1 large egg white, beaten
kosher salt, to taste
½ cup crème fraîche
1 lime, zested
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
4 oz bacon, cooked and diced

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Use a mandoline to thinly slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch-thick rounds. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and let dry for 5 minutes.
  • Lightly dust the cornstarch over half of the potato slices, then use a pastry brush to distribute the cornstarch evenly over the potatoes.
  • Use a pastry brush to coat the remaining potato slices with the egg white.
  • Place a cornstarch slice on top of an egg white slice with the cornstarch and egg white on the inside. Repeat with the remaining potato slices.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the rounded edges of each layered potato so they are even rectangles.
  • Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, gently place the potatoes in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. They will deflate, but don't worry.
  • Once all of the potatoes have been fried once, return to the oil for 1 minute more, until puffed and crispy. Remove from the oil, return to the paper towel-lined plate, and generously season with salt.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, lime zest and juice, cumin, cayenne, chives, and bacon.
  • Serve the bubble potato chips with the spiced crème fraîche.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. A mandoline slicer makes this easy.
  • Soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help the chips crisp up.
  • Dry the potato slices thoroughly before frying. This will prevent splattering and help the chips crisp up.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven for frying. This will allow the chips to fry evenly.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the potato slices. The oil should be shimmering and about 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Fry the potato slices in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot, or the chips will not crisp up.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
  • Season the chips with salt, pepper, and other seasonings while they are still hot.
  • Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
