How to make a real-life version of Bag of Pork Chips from Mother 3. No, it's not a bag of actual pork...that would be weird and kinda gross. Instead, it's a dough for special puffed up potato chips you can make. Sorta tastes like a pringle.
What You Need: 1/2 cup cooked potatoes 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/4 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp shichimi togarashi1/3 cup hot water
Pork bullion, to taste
Run cooked potatoes through a ricer. If you don't have one, just mash them as much as you can. Add to a medium bowl. Add cornstarch.
Season with salt and shichimi or red pepper flake. Mash together until it gets crumbly. Add hot water and carefully stir until cool enough to mash with your hands. Mix until a dough forms. Roll into a log and set aside.
Bring about 1/2 an inch of water in a non-stick pan to a boil. Carefully add your potato log. Cook for 15 minutes, flipping every few minutes or so. Flipping will take multiple spatulas. Do it carefully.
Once cooked, turn off the heat and carefully slide out of the pan. Allow to cool, pat dry if it's wet, cover in plastic, and place in the fridge for at least 8 hours. Overnight works great.
Using a mandolin slicer, slice 3mm thick. Try to get them in one even layer on a baking sheet, and place them in direct sunlight for about 8-10 hours. A day should suffice. Then, you can store them in an airtight container and they'll keep for months.
To make pork chips: Heat a small pot of oil to 350 degrees. Add a few dried chips at a time. Drain on paper towels and season with pork bullion to taste. Serve immediately.

Chasing down meddling kids
and their dogs can make anyone work up an appetite.
Slake that snack attack with Pigmas brand bag of pork chips.
It starts with potatoes, of course.
They're cooked.
You'll need about half a cup's worth.
I'm passing them through my ricer,
but you can just mash them real good.
Add cornstarch.
Alright, I'm gonna season these, but don't go nuts.
I'm gonna use togarashi. You can use black pepper if you don't have it.
And a tiny bit of salt. Go easy.
Mix this until you get kind of a crumbly mixture.
Don't be afraid to use your hands here.
Alright, now add some hot water.
Stir it with a spoon until it gets totally incorporated.
Roll it into a log
and set it aside.
Get a small pan and fill it with about an inch of water.
Bring it to a boil.
Then you can add your potato log.
You're going to want to cook it for about 15 minutes,
carefully rolling it over a few times while it cooks.
Use two spatulas when you do it so you can scrape it from the bottom.
It might stick a little, but that's okay.
After about 15 minutes,
turn off the heat and carefully place it on a plate.
Pat it dry, and once it cools,
cover in plastic and refrigerate it overnight.
At the very least, about 8 hours.
Alright, fetch your mandolin
and start shaving chips about 3 millimeters thick.
If you don't have a mandolin, there might be a spot on your cheese
grater that'll let you shave things really nice and thin.
Or, if you're confident, you can just use a knife.
But you want to get everything kind of even.
Alright, now lay your chips
in a single layer on a baking sheet.
We're gonna dry them in the sun for about 8 hours.
We want them to be super dry.
Like this.
You'll know it's good if it snaps in half easily.
Alright, now you can store these dried chips
for about 6 months if you keep them in a cool
dry place.
Buuuuut we're gonna fry some now.
But first you'll need some pork bouillon.
Don't have any?
I think you probably might
if you pilfer it like I do from ramen packets.
I almost never use ramen seasoning packets anyway
because I like to make my own broth.
Open it up and place it in a little bowl
for easy seasoning.
Cool.
All right, bring a little bit of oil to 350 degrees.
I'm going to use this basket that I normally use for,
you know, things like ramen and noodles,
but it works really good for frying too.
This will happen really quickly.
Drop them in the oil,
and after a few seconds, they'll puff up quick.
Quickly drain them and place them on paper towels to drain.
While they're doing that, you can season them with
Porky seasoning. Repeat with the rest. Look at that!
We're gonna have a few bags worth here.
Crunchy, tasty, and totally porky!
Bag of pork chips is yummy!
