    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
