Thank you for sharing this wonderful process on how to fry Irish potato chips. I never knew all these processes. What does placing the sliced Irish potato on a cloth and covering it with clothe do to it?
Thank you ma for the Encouragement.
It helps us to extract the water from the chips. While washing the sliced chips it attracts much water, and if you fry like that it would make our chip not to dry.
We are not just covering it with clothes. If u check the items you would observe that the clothes that is used is a cotton material that has the ability to easily absorb water. The process is called dabbing process. As you cover the Irish Potatoes Chips you dab with you hand, so that the clothes can extract the water as shown in this picture below
If you try frying it without dabbing, what happens
Good morning ma. The sweetness of chips is felt when it is crunchy. There are two ways to achieve this, if u fry without drying you would have to fry for long for the water to be extracted in the fire which will make you fry for long and would lead to burning of your chips. Most times when you fry like that it won't dry, it will just be like frying the Irish Potatoes normally.
This is a great post, @prince4icon. I'll bet these chips are the crunchiest you can get, as you extract all the water. I'm craving for these Irish potato chips already. Thanks for sharing this recipe and all the process ❤️
