Diablo Potato Chips

 

These spicy, home-made chips will disappear as quickly as you fry them up!

The potatoes can be sliced and kept in water in an airtight container for up to 2 hours before frying.

 

6 cups vegetable oil

2 large russet potatoes

1 teaspoon Cajun-style seasoned salt, divided

 

Serves 4

 

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 360°F, or until a bread cube browns in 1 minute. Thinly slice potatoes; place in a large bowl of ice water. Drain potatoes on paper towels. Sprinkle with some seasoned salt. Lower potatoes into deep fryer with a slotted spoon. Fry in batches until chips are golden, about 3 minutes. Remove chips from deep fryer with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with remaining seasoned salt. Place chips in a serving bowl.
