Tips :

Our tip for releasing all the flavors of your dishes and sublimating them while playing with textures: our Jardin Intense red onion crunch. Red onion and its slightly sweet, pungent flavors crystallized with Le Guérandais Guérande Salt. A powerful seasoning, full of flavor and with a light crunch that will give added depth to your homemade potato chip recipe as well as to all your meat recipes, grilled meats and small seasonal vegetables.

Our Jardin Intense red onion crunch is a real kitchen essential that can be used with a turn of the mill, added before or after cooking, and adds great flavor and texture to your dishes.

Le Guérandais Guérande Salt is 100% natural, unrefined, unwashed, non-iodized and unbleached: it has therefore retained all its natural minerals and benefits (potassium, magnesium and sodium). It is hand-harvested in the Guérande salt flats by salt workers according to age-old know-how, and is the fruit of the marriage of ocean, sun and wind.

Ingredients

Serves 4

For the recipe you will need :

4 large potatoes (Charlotte type),
Sunflower or olive oil for baking or frying,
Fleur de sel (Guérande salt),
Jardin Intense red onion crunch,
Pepper,
Dried herbs and paprika for flavour.

Preparation

Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Slice them thinly with a mandolin (ideally 2mm-thick strips).
Soak the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and dry carefully in a clean cloth.
Sprinkle the potato strips with a few grinds of Croquant d'Oignon Rouge Jardin Intense.
If you choose to cook your homemade potato chips in a deep fryer: heat the oil to 160-170°C. Fry the potato slices in small batches until golden brown and crisp (2-3 minutes).
If you choose to bake your homemade potato chips in the oven, place the potato strips on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper, spices and herbs of your choice. Bake at 140°c for around 40 minutes (turning over halfway through). Keep an eye on them, as some slices of homemade chips may cook faster than others, depending on their thickness!
Drain the homemade chips on paper towels until completely dry. Taste and adjust if necessary, sprinkling the chips with a few grinds of Jardin Intense Red Onion Crunch and the spices of your choice for a spicy kick.
Serve warm or cold, with a homemade sauce or plain, and enjoy!
Chips are excellent as an aperitif with sauces, vegetable sticks and a few anchovies, but can also accompany a seasonal vegetable soup to vary the texture and add crunch, as well as giving a spicy, crunchy edge to many vegetable or meat recipes. The recipe for potato potato chips can easily be adapted to vegetable recipes: you can make potato potato chips, but also carrot potato chips, zucchini potato chips, beet potato chips...
