Part 2/8:
At the core of crafting these chips is the selection of the right type of potato. The Agria variety stands out as the preferred choice. With its unique characteristics, it provides an optimal balance of starch and sugar that is critical for achieving the desired crispiness without compromising flavor. During the preparation process, the skin of the potato is removed to ensure the creation of ruffled edges, which contribute to the chip’s texture. The chips’ journey starts with proper handling; the potatoes undergo rinsing to remove excess starch, a necessary step to achieve that perfect crisp while preventing them from browning prematurely during the cooking process.
