Ingredients

• Peanut oil, for frying
• 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Neely's BBQ Seasoning, recipe follows
• 1 1/2 cups paprika
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3 3/4 tablespoons onion powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat peanut oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.

Peel potatoes and then slice into very thin 1/8-inch slices using a mandoline with a straight blade attachment. Keep potatoes in very cold water until ready to fry after cutting. Drain potatoes in a colander and blot dry with paper towels.

Fry potatoes in batches, only a few at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Once they reach a golden brown color, remove chips from the fryer and drain on a pepper towel lined sheet tray. Dust immediately with salt, pepper and Neely's BBQ seasoning, to taste.

Combine ingredients and mix well.
