Homemade Kettle Chips with Onion Dill Dip
- 4 whole Large Idaho Potatoes (Russets)
- 2 pints Peanut Oil
- Sea Salt, to taste
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cups Sour Cream
- 1/4 cups Finely Diced Yellow Onion
- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Dill
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Wash whole potatoes.
- Using a mandoline or food processor, slice potatoes very thinly and place into cold water to soak for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the dip by stirring all ingredients together.
- Refrigerate.
- Heat peanut oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium high heat.
- Dry potato slices well.
- Divide into 4 batches and fry 1 batch at a time, stirring occasionally to cook evenly (see note).
- After 3-5 minutes, potatoes should be brown and looking a lot like chips.
- Drain with a slotted spoon and place onto paper towels.
- Sprinkle with sea salt immediately and repeat with remaining batches.
- Serve with cold dip.
- Note: Just to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature, place one potato slice into the hot oil.
- If nothing happens, its not hot enough.
- Increase temperature.
- If the potato slice sizzles violently, the oil is too hot.
- Reduce temperature.
- You want the potato slice to sizzle evenly and constantly but never violently.
