Use your Fry Daddy to make homemade chips.
When making homemade potato chips, use peeled or unpeeled raw potatoes. Always scrub the raw potatoes with a stiff vegetable brush under running water before slicing them into thin pieces, using a food processor or a hand slicer. Keep the uncooked slices in cold water to prevent them from turning gray. When you are ready to add them to the hot oil in your Fry Daddy electric deep fryer, remove as much water as possible from the chips. It is dangerous to add water to hot oil.
Instructions
1. Slice the clean raw potatoes into thin slices and put into a bowl of cold water immediately.
2. Drain off the water and rinse your slices. Refill with cold water and add a few shakes of salt to the water. Let the slices soak in the salty water as you prepare the Fry Daddy.
3. Set the Fry Daddy on a heat-resistant counter near an electrical outlet and remove its plastic lid.
4. Fill the Fry Daddy with vegetable oil to the fill line indicated on the interior of the cooker. Don't overfill with oil.
5. Plug the Fry Daddy into a 120-volt electrical outlet. Let it heat up for 15 minutes.
6. Line two bowls with paper towels. One bowl is to dry the potato slices before putting them into the hot oil, and the second bowl is for the cooked potato chips.
7. Take some of the raw potato chips from the water and place them in one of the paper towel-lined bowls, then pat off the excess water. Take just enough for one batch. A Fry Daddy holds up to 4 cups of food. Don't exceed that amount for one batch. Chips will cook better if you cook in a smaller batch, as a full batch will cause the chips to stick together.
8. Place the dried chips in the hot oil using the slotted spoon that comes with the appliance. Gently nudge the chips apart in the oil (using the slotted spoon) so they don't stick together.
9. Remove the chips from the oil, using the slotted spoon, when they float to the top of the oil and turn golden brown. Place them in the second bowl with paper towels, and lightly salt.
