Happy Hump Day! This is the day of the week when I start to lose control and want to eat all the junk food. Any salad placed in front of me stands the chance of being launched across the room. Can you blame me? I have a serious salt craving like 24/7. I like things overly salted and sometimes it’s a problem with the family. They are your salt barometers because if I didn’t have them….these recipes could be a little on the briny side.

Like these Easy Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips. I’ve been dying to make Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips from scratch for years but every single recipe called for powdered vinegar. And yes, they probably would be much more puckery if I used powdered vinegar but let’s be real….it’s really hard to find in stores. The only place I could find it was on Amazon and I don’t love to order my groceries. I’m more of a “on a whim” person and like to use ingredients that are readily available.

I love Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips so much that, once, in high school I ate a whole bag in chemistry class. Have you ever eaten an entire bag in one sitting? No? Well, let me tell you…the roof of your mouth will be completely shredded, it’s not a fun time. Another reason to skip the powdered vinegar and go for the straight stuff. Let’s get started. You’re going to slice your potatoes super thin, I like to use a handheld mandolin that I bought at the grocery store for a whopping $25.

Heat your oil in a large pot and drop in a few slices. Don’t crowd the pot or the temperature of your oil will drop, things will start to stick together and you’ll just have clumps of oily potatoes. Not good eats.
