RecipeJoes Chip Pro-Tips
- You can get a mandolin from Walmart, Publix, and other stores. It’s a good tool to have for slicing vegetables; however, when doing this recipe make sure you’re the one using the tool, because it can be very dangerous.
- You can use vegetable oil to fry the chips in, or you can experiment with other oils like coconut, canola, and peanut.
- These chips are really good right after cooking. You can store them in air tight Ziploc bags, but the shelf life isn’t very good. So eat up!
- Seasoning the chips right as they’re coming out of the oil! You can try all kinds of seasonings with your kids, have fun with it! You might think of an awesome combination.
