INGREDIENTS

Potatoes
Sea salt
Vegetable oil
Your choice of herbs/spices

METHOD

  1. Slice potatoes as thinly as possible. Recommend using a hand mandolin
  2. Reserve slices potatoes in vegetable oil to prevent browning and toss in sea salt until lightly coated
  3. Smoke on a baking sheet with parchment or a metal cooling rack at 300°F (149°C) for 1-2 hours depending on the thickness
  4. Chips around the edge of the tray will cook faster – remove any chips that are crisp to prevent burning
