Homemade BBQ Potato Chips

1. 1

   Preheat the peanut oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. (For tips on deep-frying, see page 19.)

2. 2

   Whisk together the paprika, garlic powder, sugar, and salt in a small mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Slice the potatoes into very thin (1/8-inch) slices (you can use a knife, but a mandoline with a straight-blade attachment is helpful).

4. 4

   Fry the potatoes in batches, only a few at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes.

5. 5

   Once they reach a golden-brown color, remove the chips from the fryer and drain on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the chips immediately with the barbecue seasoning.

7. 7

   Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

8. 8

   Toss the potato slices with 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and season with the barbecue seasoning.

9. 9

   Spray two sheet trays with nonstick spray.

10. 10

    Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet trays, leaving some breathing space between them.

11. 11

    Bake for 20 minutes, then start watching the chips closely.

12. 12

    After another 5 minutes, theyll start to brown; as soon as you see the browning, take them out of the oven.

13. 13

    They turn on a dime from browned to burned!
