Seasoning of choice (see below for Sour Cream & Onion and Sweet & Spice Recipes)įill a large bowl with cold water and add in 1 TBS salt, stir the water. OXO was generous to provide Samantha with a 3 piece set for her potato chip making experience as well as provide another set for a giveaway. Samantha and I are huge fans of OXO and use their products in our cooking every day.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION CHIPS HOW TO
Help slice the potatoes, teach them how to use an easy and effective hand-held mandoline like this one from OXO.Here are ways kids can help make Homemade Potato Chips: However watching what happens at a safe viewing spot is a delicious science lesson! We almost always use our deep fryer for frying anything, but for this I wanted her to "see" the process and transformation. Chips however are not something she can yet do on her own (at the age of 9) the oil is just to dangerous for little helpers. As you know, she helps a lot in the kitchen and prepares a number of dishes on her own. Samantha did such a great job listening to what we were going to do. Next time I make them I want to make a salt and vinegar chip for my cousin.that's her favorite! See you next time! I think kids can be a big help when you want to make potato chips BUT they need to stay away from the pan when the potatoes go in and are cooking - it is dangerous.ĭo you want to try and make your own potato chips? She taught me how to use it and taught me how to use it safely but she really didn't like me using it since it was old and not that good for kids. We started slicing the cucumbers and it was taking FOREVER when all of a sudden my mom said "oh wait, let me get my mandoline"! After that it went super-fast. I helped her make 62 pounds of her Pulled Pork and then we made 25 pounds of her Sweet and Spicy Cucumbers (they are SO yummy). I learned about using a mandoline because my mom is in charge of doing the father-daughter dance at school each year and this year she decided to do a Luau theme. You can try to slice your potatoes very thin when you want to make chips but using a mandolin makes it SO much easier!! Have you ever used a mandoline before? When you use a mandoline, slicing is easy and fast.so fast you just can't believe it! So I knew I wanted to make them first and eat as many as I could!
I think everyone loves potato chips (right?) my favorite is Sour Cream and Onion! My mom doesn't let me get them very much because she says that they have too many ingredients she can't pronounce on the bag. Guess what the first thing you need is? Yup.a potato!īut first you have to decide what flavor you want to make.
