Salt-and-Vinegar crisps

There is nothing quite like the crunch of homemade salt and vinegar potato crisps. This recipe transforms humble potatoes into a sophisticated, golden snack that balances a sharp, acidic tang with a satisfying savoury finish. By using vinegar powder instead of liquid, you achieve that intense, mouth-watering flavour without compromising the crispness of the potato, ensuring every bite remains perfectly light.

Ideal for those looking for a low-sugar alternative to processed snacks, these crisps are a brilliant addition to any weekend gathering or as a treat for a simple lunch. The secret to success lies in the double-soaking process, which removes excess starch to guarantee a superior texture. Serve these alongside a cool dip or enjoy them solo as a classic British favourite.

Ingredients for Salt-and-Vinegar crisps

  • 5 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 800g)

  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

  • Kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon (approximately) vinegar powder

  • Ingredient info: Vinegar powder can be found at specialty foods stores and spicebarn.com.

How to make Salt-and-Vinegar crisps

Using a mandoline, thinly slice potatoes (just under 1/8" thick). Let soak in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Drain; repeat. Pat potatoes very dry.

Meanwhile, pour oil into a large pot to a depth of 1 1/2". Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of pot; heat oil over medium heat to 160°C.

Working in batches of about 20 slices and returning oil to 160°C after each batch, fry potatoes, stirring gently, until they are golden brown and oil stops sizzling, 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chips to paper towels to drain. Season each batch generously with salt and 1/4 teaspoons vinegar powder.
