      I think that the reason why chip companies keep their chips very light and non flavored is because they add artificial flavors to them. If we cook our chips till they burn or brown a little, that wouldn’t taste very good with the artificial flavors. Also, if you read the ingredients on a bag of chips, many of them add MSG(Monosodium Glutamate) to enhance the flavor and it makes you want to eat the whole bag. It does cause stomach discomfort and headaches to many people. The homemade ones are much better for anybody.

      @@ferrarirobin I don't have a good definition for 'wet', and I doubt that there even really is one, but I'll try my best. I guess for most people something being wet simply means that it's soaked or covered in water. You can soak things in oil too, but since oil has different properties than water (lower heat capacity, less surface tension, lower density, non polar, et cetera) we humans don't consider it 'wet'. Maybe something with properties similar to water could be considered 'wet' too. Also another big thing is that water is really good at putting out fires, while oil is not. Also water evaporates relatively quickly, while most oils don't, which leads to us considering something being wet a temporary state which resolves itself over time while if you spilled oil on something you'd actively have to get it off.

    Personally, I am a fan of the weirdest flavors you can find among 'regular' potato chips in German supermarkets: Africa, Currywurst, Barbecue, Western, Pulled Pork, Cheese and Onion - whathaveyou. But of course I can also appreciate a good paprika or salt and vinegar version.
    You should most definitely do a follow up. Why not try to flavor the oil with onion, garlic, chili, rosemary or ginger. For spices I think salt and paprika powder go a long way but how about cumin, oregano or maybe garam masala?
    I love your videos - the production quality is through the roof, your energy and attitude are great!

    I've made homemade potato chips before doing the whole vinegar blanching and drying and getting the right temp, in small batches, etc. I honestly was very skeptical that Andong's procedure would work. Well, I just did it and it totally worked. I even cut them pretty thick and they were still super super crunchy. Not only that, but I fried them in my own homemade onion oil after making crispy fried shallots from Andongs other video about onions. Andong you should be proud. The first time you do this, if you're like me, you'll be tempted to take them out too soon out of fear of burning them, but leave them in until they get nice and dark. I took them out as the oil was just a little over 300 degrees, which is quite a change from the typical "preheat oil to 375" standard.

    I make kettle chips all the time and I agree, the brown ones do taste better. I think it has to do with the caramelization of the sugars which we try to avoid using the vinegar method. The caramelized ones taste better.
    For cutting, earlier I used to halve the potatoes in the middle and cut really thin slices shaped like a "D" using a serrated knife by hand. I had trained myself by doing this repeatedly so many times that the chips used to be see through. Now I just use a mandolin because it is equally good and also because hand cutting is just too much effort sometimes.
    Then I wash off the starch until the water starts turning somewhat clear. Then I freeze them for just enough time for the water inside the cells to crystalize and break the cell walls. Usually it means around 2 hours.
    After that, you put frozen chips into hot oil keeping in mind that the oil will boil over and the frying vessel needs to have enough margin so that it doesn't spill. This makes the temperature of the oil drop and also thaws the chips so that now the water will evaporate easily (the cell walls are already ruptured due to freezing). And I never cooked in small batches. Just keep turning the chips frequently for even cooking.
    fry until golden brown and crisp. Keep in mind that even after you remove them from the oil, the chips will turn further darker brown outside the oil as they continue to cook in their own residual heat, so remove them slightly before you think they have achieved the correct color.
    Salt to taste and enjoy.

His English is indeed excellent, as is his French pronunciation. If he had not mentioned his nationality, my first guess was have been that he's a first generation Canadian whose family moved here when he was quite young or a second generation Canadian born to recent immigrants (slight hint of an accent on a North American English base accent with very good French phonetics), probably from Montreal or maybe Ottawa. Seriously, he sounds like he grew up within a few hundred kilometers of me here in Canada.

    Beside that, I really love your videos because you do not just cook, no, you give us so much background information which makes it so much better! When you try to invent something new or to enhance/evolve existing dishes, it is also very cool. Perhaps you should try to make crisps from rice.

      In the UK, you name the potato snacks based on the end result. In America, they are named for the cutting process used to make them. The head of a potato chipper looks much like the head of wood chipper. You have a rotating head with embedded blades preset to the desired depth. You feed the potatoes/wood to it as it spins. The result is wood chips or potato chips or anything else you choose to chip. The cut potatoes remain chips both before and after cooking.

      It is my go to choice, and I have difficulty not finishing a bag off -_-
      Its basically a blend of BBQ, Ketchup, Sour Cream and Onion

      I thought ketchup chips were unique to Canada but all dressed as well?

    Just shows how talented Mr George Spec was if he could invent potato chips 2 years before his own birth. Absolute Legend.

    So glad I watched the end... can't wait to make the cold oil method. Thank you!!!
    💥My fav chip dip: microwave a packet of onion soup powder w 1/8 to 1/4 cup water for 30 seconds, then add to sour cream. It gives a creamy light custard texture to dip... Omg YUM!!!
