I have many potato recipes on this website like potato-onion sambar, potato mosaru bajji, potato palya and sagu, potato paratha, potato bonda, aloo gobi and aloo-carrot paratha recipes.
This potato chips is with spicy red masala. If you want plain salted chips then simply sprinkle the salt, do not use red chili powder and asafoetida. I have posted one more raw jackfruit chips recipe on this website, which uses the same masala.

Preparation time: 1 - 2 days
Cooking time: 10 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 2 big raw potatoes
- 2 tsp red chili powder (adjust as per your spice level)
- 2 tsp salt (or as per your taste)
- 1/2 tsp black salt (optional; but recommended)
- 1/4 tsp asafoetida
- Oil to deep fry
Instructions for making sun dried potato chips:
- Take fresh raw potatoes or alugadde. And peel them.
- After peeling immerse them in the water to avoid discoloration. I just rinsed them under running water as I used only two potatoes.
- Next slice the potatoes using a slicer.
- After slicing 2 - 3 potatoes, put the sliced potatoes in the water having normal room temperature.
- Rinse them very well until you observe clear water. Doing so will remove the extra starch from the potatoes.
- Meanwhile take some water and little salt in a wide pan. Keep it for boiling.
- Wait until it starts boiling.
- Add in the rinsed potato slices and blanch them for 2 - 3 minutes. Or allow them to cook for 2 - 3 minutes under medium flame.
- Once done, switch off the stove and drain the water completely.
- Next spread them on a clean cotton cloth and keep it for sun drying. Make sure that the potato slices are nor overlapped.
- After around half day, I transferred them into a plate. But you can continue drying them on the cloth as well.
- At the end of the day they looked like this.
- I kept them out for drying on the second day as well. Sun dry them until crispy. You can either fry them or store them in a container and fry them as and when required.
- Now either deep fry them or bake them to prepare crispy potato chips. For that heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry the sun dried potato slices. You need to be very quick, or otherwise you will end up in burning them.
- Finish frying few batches of chips. Also in a bowl take all powders like red chili, salt, black salt and asafoetida. Mix them well.
- Next sprinkle the masala powder and toss them well. You can change the masala powder as per your taste. Serve the crispy potato chips and enjoy.
