Ingredients for the chips

2 big russet potatoes, washed and thinly sliced with a mandolina
4 tablespoons salt
1 cup Blanche de Chambly beer from Unibroue
Handful fresh chive, chopped
Peanut or canola oil

Ingredients for the mayonnaise

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ground chili
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Preparation

In a big bowl filled with cold water, drop in your sliced potatoes and add 4 tablespoons of salt with the beer. Stir well. Let it sit on the counter for one hour.
Drain the chips as much as possible and lay them, one next to the other, on a clean dish towel for them to dry.
In a large pan, add about 3 inches of oil and heat at medium. You will need to make some tests here. With my oven, the best temp is between 4 and 5 but will vary from an oven to another. If too hot, chips will simply burn.
Cook the chips a small batch at a time. When lightly brown (after about 3-4 minutes ) remove with a spider skimmer, shake off the oil, and put on a paper towel. Repeat until all chips are cooked! Then, throw all chips in a big bowl and add some big salt along with the chive. Shake and serve immediately!
Make the mayo by combining all ingredients together, simply. Rectify seasoning if necessary.

Our sommeliers suggest

Segura Viudas Cava Reserva Brut

No pairing with chips? Well I heard that salt makes you thirsty… From a general standpoint, sparklings and chips are excellent together! And this one won't empty your pocket while offering a lot. See the product

Ambrée Amère, La Chouape

You need a salty, fat and spicy taste? Choose the Ambrée Amère! Surprisingly easy to drink, it does not lack character with its orange and pine resin notes. The strong bitterness enhances the strong spices in the mayonnaise. A beer to discover again and again. See the product
