Sean Silin, an expert in the snack world, emphasizes the importance of slicing cassava very thinly. "Thinner slices will result in crispier chips," he said in an engaging video.

After that, don't forget to wash the cassava slices thoroughly; do this several times until the washing water is completely clear. This step is crucial to remove any residual starch that can cause the cassava slices to stick together when fried, ensuring that the resulting chips remain crispy and delicious!

2. Soaking Secrets: Hot Water and Salt for Distinctive Flavor

Not only does this enhance the flavor, but the salt will add a savory touch that makes the cassava chips even more tempting, so you won’t need to bother adding seasoning after frying.

Soak the cassava for two to three hours, as recommended by Sean, to ensure the texture becomes crispy and doesn’t easily turn soft. Make sure each piece of cassava is fully submerged, allowing all parts to optimally absorb the warmth of the hot water.

3. Maximal Drying Before Frying

Be sure to drain it on paper towels or let it dry in an open container before proceeding to the frying stage.

This proper drying process is crucial, as it will prevent the cassava from absorbing too much oil, resulting in crispy and delicious chips without an excessive oily taste. Get ready to enjoy a delightful snack!

4. The Right Frying Technique for Evenly Cooked Chips
