Ingredients

  • 4 - potatoes
  • 1 tsp - salt
  • 1 tsp - black pepper
  • ½ tsp - MSG
  • neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoons - mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp - barbecue sauce
  • 3 tablespoons - water
  • ½ tsp - garlic powder
  • ½ tsp - paprika
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Don’t peel the potatoes – just wash them well. Use a slicer or mandoline to cut the potatoes into thin, even slices.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the potato slices in small batches until golden and crispy (about 3–4 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. While still hot, toss the chips with salt, black pepper, and MSG.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust with a splash more water if you want a thinner dip.
  5. Pile the chips onto a plate and serve immediately with the BBQ dipping sauce.
