but now there is a ~40 sec difference in cooking time. surely that makes a difference in the chips...right?

Some people can't understand how fucked up it would be to have one of these things right next to your bed, and I am one of those people.

It'd be un-American or British NOT to have a deep fryer next to the bed.

I always thought that after the potatoes are sliced, they are washed to remove much of the starch to prevent the chips from getting overcooked.
dieinagoddamnfire
You can't just 'wash off the starch'. Potatoes are 20% dry matter by weight on average (the rest is liquid), and like 60% of that dry weight is starch. If you washed off the starch, assuming that's even possible, you would be left with almost no potato. Same thing with people talking about rinsing the starch off rice except in that case it's 100% dry weight and like 80%+ starch. You're just rinsing off lose particulate material that can gum up and get sticky.

It is done mostly to prevent gunk buildup in the oil of deep fryers, but if you have some sort of working filtration system, not simply one for name sake to pass food safety inspections, then it is not as much of a problem. Also, washing/blanching sliced potatoes before cooking them removes any micronutrients they may have, giving you a more bland chip, unless you spice season and rock salt it afterwards

not to mention that this is so slow that the first chips will be burnt to shit by the time the last ones are cooked

You wanna dry them as well if you want kettle style and also water and oil make a sometimes dangerous mix.

Yes it keeps the potato from darkening too much too fast. If you want to make it even easier wash them in a salt bath. The salt will cause the potato to leech water into the solution (osmosis) and make for a crunchier chip. it also seasons the chip with salt before hand (little bit anyway).

I saw one of these at a tag sale and the guy didn't know what it was the only wanted three dollars for the damn thing and it was seem to be working perfectly. I only knew what it was because my uncle had a farm and he grew potatoes by the acre
