The recipe calls for 1/2 cup key lime juice and 2 tsp lime zest
The way I do it is I cut the potato into thin slices, I put a slice of lime in a bowl of water or squeeze the lime. Whichever you prefer. I add about 6 spoons of vinegar but the more vinegar you put the stronger the lime will taste coz the potato will absorb it with the vinegar. Anyway put the slices of potato in the mixture for about 2 hours and add salt. voila :) fry your potato chips. Your gonna love it!
So you see you get a lime and a bag of potato chips. Poor the potato chips in a bowl and squeeze away on that lime. Enjoy.
I have no idea, but it seems like you might want to use a mandolin to thinly slice russet potatoes. Soak the potatoes in a brine of lime juice, water, and salt. I'd let them marinate for a while then drain. Fry them up in hot peanut oil and drain. Sprinkle with a mixture of kosher salt, lime powder, and garlic.

Tweet Ingredients 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 2 teaspoons kosher salt 10 fresh corn tortillas, cut into quarters 2 quarts peanut oil Directions In a small mixing bowl, combine the lime juice and salt. One at a time, dip the chips into the mixture and arrange on a cooling rack set inside a sheet pan. Allow to dry for 1 hour or until there are no visible signs of moisture on the chips. Place the oil into a 5-quart pot or Dutch oven and heat to 365 to 375 degrees F. Gently lower the chips, 5 to 6 at a time, into the oil and fry for 20 to 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the chips to a newspaper-lined sheet pan. Allow to cool 3 to 4 minutes before serving. *If you prefer plain tortilla chips simply stack the fresh tortillas, cut into quarters and fry according to the instructions above. If you are making chips from the Good Eats recipe in this episode, the cooking time will be 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
