Tips:

- Choose potatoes with a high starch content, such as Russet or Maris Piper, for the crispiest chips.

- After cutting the potatoes into chips, soak them in cold water for at least an hour to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier texture.

- Ensure the chips are thoroughly dry before frying or baking to avoid splattering and to ensure even cooking.

- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform chip thickness, ensuring consistent cooking.

- For baking, spread the chips in a single layer on the baking tray to allow even heat distribution and optimal crispiness.

- If frying, use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 350-375°F (175-190°C) for perfect, golden-brown chips.

- Combine the salt, lemon zest, and fresh thyme in advance and let it sit for a few minutes before sprinkling on the hot chips to enhance the infusion of flavors.

With a crispy exterior and a flavorful seasoning, traditional chips with lemon and thyme salt are a delectable treat that can elevate any meal. The combination of lemon zest and thyme adds a gourmet touch to the comfort of classic homemade chips. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or fryer for the best experience.
