Chips in the home: hardly anything can be tastier

This extraordinary dish was born, like many other genius things in the world, as a result of a banal human error. This dish was invented by a cook who worked in the hotel "Ritz" in 1850 and cooked breakfast for the multimillionaire Vanderbildt, without even thinking about how to make homemade chips. The cook, distracted, completely forgot about the potatoes, which at that time was roasted in oil and turned into thin "leaves", fragile, golden in color and very unusual taste.

In the modern world, very few people who have not tried potato chips, but not all of them have become hot fans of this dish. The fact is that chips made in factory conditions are extremely greasy, which is not liked by everyone, as it can damage your health. How can we avoid this, if you want to eat delicious potato "leaves" after all? It is worth to learn how to make chips, and try to do it yourself - at home and exclusively on their own preferences.

The easiest way for this is the chef's method, which reached the modern culinary specialists from the distant 1850. However, even in this simple recipe, there are secrets, first of all concerning the choice of potatoes. If you want to create delicious and healthy chips at home, you will have to look for suitable varieties: with dense tubers that are distinguished by a dense surface, the absence of external and internal damage and low sugar content. It is interesting that, in addition to potatoes, other products are often used as "material" for chips: pieces, pressed from cereals, rice plates or corn tortillas. No doubt, such ingredients are very healthy, but not all are considered tasty.

Create the same delicious chips at home, with the taste of chicken and cumin, best of all from the following products: potatoes (6 pcs.), A cube of "chicken broth" (15 grams) and a small amount of dried cumin (about 10 grams). Naturally, you will need vegetable oil for frying, as well as salt, otherwise the dish will lose half of its qualities. In the preparation of such a delicate dish, the thickness of slicing potatoes is of great importance - each slice should be dense enough and not to disintegrate hands, but at the same time, literally be visible through. Help in this can grater for cheese - only thanks to her chips at home will be ideal. When everything is ready, the slices will need to be lowered for a quarter of an hour in the water, then slightly dry with a paper towel. Then it will only be to fry the potatoes in vegetable oil, remove it in time and put it on a paper napkin to save excess fat.

The last stage of preparing such an appetizing crunchy delicacy is the creation of seasonings: for them it is necessary to crush one chicken broth cub literally before dust, salt to taste (here the main thing is not to get carried away, because the bouillon cube is itself quite salty) and stir with caraway seeds. Ready seasoning should be poured over the still hot chips - and you can start the "holiday belly."

It is possible to cook chips at home very quickly and without too much effort - in a microwave oven. To do this, the chef will need to cut out a sheet of parchment, in the form coinciding with a dish for a microwave, well smear the paper with vegetable oil and gently lay on it a layer of slices of potatoes. To taste home chips can be sprinkled with salt and various seasonings, and then sent to the microwave. It is very difficult to determine the cooking time of a dish, since it depends only on the power of the device, but on average it is not more than 5 minutes. After this period you can get a treat and leave it for a few minutes in the open air, so that the chips are thoroughly dried and become really crispy.
