    The chips must have turned reddish because the oil temperature must have been too high. Heat the oil first, drop a single potato slice, if it raises to the surface immediately, reduce the flame to medium and then fry the potato slices. Oil should not be too hot.

    Himanshu – If there is moisture, then the chips will not be crunchy. So you should wipe the potato slices well with a cloth and then spread it on a cloth for sometime to dry.

    I have a baker friend who suggested the below recipe … Take a utensil with water & vinegar, bring it to boil & add potato slices. Boil it for 3-4 MNS. Remove them & spread it for drying. It has to dry completely. Then deep fry them. This method actually gave me perfect chips. Need to have some patience to prepare them

      Dry it well before frying by patting it with a towel. Less moisture- less absorption of oil.
