Comment préparer Mexican Potato Crisps With Lime Salsa
- **Make the Salsa:**
- Cut an 'X' on the top of 4 medium tomatoes (about 2 lbs total). Place in a bowl of boiling water and soak for 2 minutes. Remove, peel, deseed, and chop roughly.
- Finely chop 1/2 small red onion.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- **Prepare the Potato Crisps:**
- Peel 2 lbs of russet potatoes and thinly slice them using a mandoline slicer (or very sharp knife).
- Place the potato slices in a large bowl of ice water and soak for 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- **Deep-Fry Method:**
- Fill a large, deep pot about halfway with vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small cube of bread into the oil; it should brown in 30 seconds.
- Carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, turning frequently with a slotted spoon.
- Remove the crisps with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle with salt immediately.
- **Oven-Baked Method (Healthier Alternative):**
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the dried potato slices in a single layer on two large baking sheets lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the crispy potatoes immediately with the chilled lime salsa.
