Homemade pasta chips are so easy and simple to make with just two ingredients. They are a great alternative to tortillas when serving nachos and they make a great savory snack or appetizer.
Prepare your noodles according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat shortening in a large pot on medium-high.
Strain your noodles and fry a layer at a time, flipping them after a minute.
Remove and allow to dry on a paper towel lined plate.
Notes
Season - You can simply sprinkle them with a little sea salt and cracked black pepper or you could easily add Homemade Taco Seasoning or a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.
Fry in batches - The noodles should be fried in a single layer so that they get nice and crispy, and flip them half way through so that they are evenly cooked.
Watch carefully - It only takes about 3 minutes on each side to fry the noodles, so keep your eye on them as they are cooking so that they don't burn.
