Ingredients 

• 1 medium potato 
• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Cumin powder  
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons (8 ml) Salt 

Cooking 

1. Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin slices. 1-2mm (about 1/16 inch). 
   NOTE: This is a good test for developing your knife skills, but if you prefer, you can use a hand-held slicer. 
   
2. Rinse the potato chips to wash away the starch on the surface of the potato. 
3. Add enough water to cover the potatoes in the wok. After heating the water, add the potatoes and cook for 3 minutes (depending on the thickness of your slices, the potato slices can be cooked until they are transparent). 
   
4. Remove the potatoes from the wok, put them in cold water. Pour out the water from the wok and dry. 
   
5. Important: be sure the wok is completely dry before performing this step! Pour oil in a dry wok, and heat to 150°C (300 F). 
   
6. Pat the chips dry with a towel to remove any water from the surface.  Add the potato slices to the hot oil and fry until crispy (about 10 minutes). Remove the chips from the oil. 
   
7. Sprinkle with cumin and chili powder, and shake to blend the seasoning and potato chips. 
   

Notes:  

• Keep the oil dry when heating the oil and frying, and do not let the hot oil come into contact with water. Otherwise it will explode. 
• Be careful not to get burned by the hot oil. 
• When slicing potatoes, please cut them evenly, otherwise the thin part of the same potato chip will be easily burnt, and the thick part will be soft after frying. 
• Increase the seasoning according to the number of potatoes. 
• You can choose the seasoning you like.
