    How to Prepare Potato Chip Salad [Vegan]

    1. Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry in a clean tea towel, taking care to remove as much moisture as possible.
    2. In a large high-sided sauté pan, heat 11⁄4 inches (3 cm) neutral oil over medium heat until about 340°F (170°C). To check the oil temperature, drop a potato slice into the oil. The potato should sink to the bottom of the pan, then immediately bounce back up to the surface, and there will be a few medium-sized bubbles.
    3. Fry the potato slices in batches, turning, until golden and the bubbles have subsided, about 3 minutes. Drain on a rack set over a pan to catch the drips. (Note: If the potatoes you are using have too much moisture, you might need to fry them twice to crisp them up properly.)
    4. In a small bowl, mix together the curry powder, salt, and vinegar. Slowly whisk in the canola (rapeseed) oil to emulsify.
    5. Line four salad plates with the lettuce and strew with the cucumber and tomatoes. Mound the potato chips in the middle, then scatter the celery over the top. Drizzle with the curry vinaigrette and serve immediately as a light lunch course.
