Instructions
making sun dried potato chips
Wash the potatoes well in water. peel the potatoes.
In a huge bowl mix some salt with water and keep aside.
Now start slicing the potatoes with a slicer and as you slice them let the slices fall in the salted water.
You can even slice them with a knife.
The slices should be neither too thick nor thin.
We are adding the slices in the salt water so that they potatoes don't darken.
Finish off like this with all the potatoes.
The water should cover the slices completely.
Now in another large pot take water and add salt to it.
The quantity of water should be so such that all the potato slices should get immersed in it.
Bring this salt water mixture to a rolling boil on a high flame.
Now add the potato slices to the hot salted water.
Blanch the potato slices for 3 or 4 minutes in the hot boiling water. Don't lower the flame.
After 3 or 4 minutes, switch off the flame. Cover the pot and let the slices stay in the hot water for 3 to 4 minutes.
The slices should look translucent.
Then drain the slices in a colander or strainer.
Arrange them on a tray lined with a clean plastic sheet or just place them in a plate or tray.
Keep them in the sun for 1 or 2 days till they are dried completely. Cover with a muslin cloth to avoid dust from getting into them.
You can also keep them in a dry shaded place, if you don't get sunlight.
Change the sides of the slices when one side is dried.
Store in an air tight jar in a cool & dry place.
to serve
Shallow or deep fry the potato slices.
Drain on kitchen tissues.
Sprinkle some salt and red chili powder before serving.
Serve them hot as if you keep them out for a longer time, they become soft.
Notes
1. You can either shallow fry or deep fry the chips.
