Are potato chips gluten free?

Potato chips can be gluten-free, but it depends on the ingredients used to make them and the manufacturing process. Some brands of potato chips are made with just potatoes, oil, and salt, and are therefore gluten-free. However, other brands may contain added ingredients, such as flavorings or seasonings, that could contain gluten. Additionally, cross-contamination during manufacturing could also result in gluten being present in otherwise gluten-free potato chips. To ensure that potato chips are gluten-free make you own homemade potato chips.

How do you crisp up potato chips?

If you need some extra crunch to your potato chips just pop them into the microwave or the oven for a couple of minutes. Drying them out will bring back their crunchiness.

How do you store homemade potato chips?

Allow the chips to cool completely before storing them. Place the chips in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Store the container or bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If possible, use a container that is just the right size for the chips to prevent too much air from getting in and making them stale. Keep in mind that homemade chips don't have any preservatives, so they won't last as long as store-bought chips. It's best to consume them within a day or two for the best flavor and texture.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prep - Take your potato and slice with a mandolin or sharp knife. Make each slice about 1/16 of an inch.
Soak - Place your sliced potatoes in a bowl of ice water for 2 minutes to remove excess starch. You can keep them in the water longer if needed while you are making your batches in the microwave to prevent them from oxidizing.
Arrange - Grab a microwave safe plate and place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the plate. Place your potato slices on top of the parchment paper on the plate. Arrange them flat all around the plate evenly spaced.
Season - Add your favorite seasoning and then place in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. Then remove plate from microwave and flip your chips with tongs. Add seasoning to the other side now and place back in microwave and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Microwave - Depending on the power of your microwave you may have to flip again and start microwaving at 2 minute increments. Mine came out perfect after a total of 10 minutes of microwave time. When you see them getting golden remove from microwave and let cool.

Notes

Choose the right type of potato: Use a starchy potato like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best results.
Slice the potatoes thinly: Thinly sliced potatoes will crisp up better and cook more evenly.
Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes will help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier chips.
Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Pat the sliced potatoes dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture.
Use a mandoline or sharp knife: A mandoline or sharp knife will help you achieve consistently thin slices.
Homemade potato chips can be addicting, so practice portion control and enjoy them as a treat in moderation.
