📝 Preparation Steps
1
Corn & Crab Chowder
Corn (this was 6 ears of corn for me)5 cups
2
Put the chopped bacon in the bottom of a medium stockpot. Cook over medium heat for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
3
Add the celery, carrots, and onion to the pot. Cook and stir often for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, until they are soft.

Heat the canola oil in your deep fryer. *If you don't have a deep fryer, heat some oil in a skillet to 365°.

Slice potatoes paper thin. It is best if you have a mandolin slicer, but if you do not you can do it with a very sharp knife. You want the potato slice to be so thin that you can see through it a little.
12
When the oil is ready, drop the potato slices in. Fry until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Shake the excess oil and dump chips into a brown paper bag filled with a teaspoon or two of Old Bay. Close the top of the bag and gently shake to season chips.
13
Remove from bag and place on a paper towel in a single layer until you are ready to garnish your soup.
