You’re welcome Ray! Thank you so much for trying my recipe. I’m so glad you enjoyed them. 🙂

Hi Eric! The cold water soak helps encourage crispy kettle chips. And avocado oil is usually our preference for cooking and baking, but it can just be quite expensive, especially when you need a large quantity for frying. Totally agree though! 😊

By the way, DON’T use “Vegetable Oil” (which is really seed oil) for frying – they contain mostly polyunsaturated fatty-acids that readily oxidize and are quite unhealthy. Use Avacado oil instead – mainly monounsaturated fatty acids. Notice how “vegetable oils” make a sticky, gummy residue on your fryer? Thats what happens inside your arteries as well. Avacado oil does not do that. Olive oil is equally healthy, however it is generally much more expensive, and adds its own flavor to the chips (which is great if you prefer that). If you are going to eat fried potatoes, might as well do so as healthily as possible!
