Use air frying instead of deep frying in oil

I can use it for me but industry we have deep fryer

Various ways:
Slice thicker
Fry at a higher temperature
Use higher dry matter potatoes
Use a water stripper pre fryer to remove excess water or the same post fryer to remove water
Lab fryers do give a higher oil content as fryer oil temp dips too much

Know its not possible but use a hot steam box stripper to remove water and sl cook potatoes

Is it a batch fryer or continuous? Batch tend to give higher oil contents as a nature of the oil temp profile - good luck

Also make sure your slicer blades are in top condition so reducing the amount of damaged cells in the slice

Hi Azamet,

Typically you will get 30-40% fat pick-up from deep frying.

The best oil to use is High Oleic Sunflower Oil as it has the best frying stability and less prone to go rancid.

This patent suggest pre-soaking the chips in the frying oil (at room temperature), draining them, then deep frying as per normal.
