How to make glass-like translucent potato chips
Potato chips are good, but they could be so much prettier. Using the magic of molecular gastronomy, you can make crispy, crunchy potato chips that look more like slices of glass. Take potatoes, turn them into stock and starch, add them to gelatin and voila. Oh, like the process for store-bought potato chips is any less weird.
This chip is stunning. It’s see-through like no other food. It has the distinct crunch and flavor of a potato chip, but in an unexpected space-age form.
This is molecular gastronomy brought home. It involves potato stock, potato starch, and a slow-dried gel. The first couple of steps are a breeze, but I warn you in advance: you must have patience to bring these to fruition. The last few steps require that you dehydrate the gel and then deep fry the chips in oil (like the real ones). But the result is oh-so-worth-it (every calorie, too).
The original recipe was created Hamid Salimian, the chef at Diva at the Met. I improved the recipe by using a squeeze bottle to create more uniform potato chips. I also experimented with adding herbs like rosemary to the recipe which is a great way to bring your own twist to the recipe.

I thought that said “add them to gelatin and vodka” could you imagine getting drunk off potato chips
