Homemade Taro, Lotus & Potato Chips
Makes 5 Servings
Frying potato chips at home is surprisingly easy, and fresh potato chips are much more delicious than store bought. That said, you don’t have to just fry potatoes. Lotus root chips have a slightly creamy, slightly sweet flavor, look gorgeous, and crisp up even better because of their holes. Taro root also makes great chips, and this same technique can even be used with sunchokes, as in our Perch Fish & Chips Recipe.
You can use any of our specialty salts to season your chips, but we’ve suggested a few varieties below that work particularly well.

INGREDIENTS
- 3 Fresh Taro Roots
- 2 Fresh Lotus Roots
- 2 large Heirloom Bintje Potatoes
- Green Chile Salt, Szechuan Pepper Salt, Truffle Salt or other salt to taste
- Freshly cracked Tellicherry Peppercorns to taste
- High heat oil (canola, peanut, etc) – amount depends on your pot or fryer.
