The aim of this study was to determine the effect of blanching and frying on selected properties of potato crisps of yellow- and purple-fleshed cultivars. The material used was yellow flesh cv. Ismena and purple flesh cv. Provita. Potato slices were blanched (1–5 min at 80–90 °C) and then fried (155–175 °C). The control sample was comprised of crisps that were not blanched. The fat content and color parameters were determined in crisps, while in defatted samples, the following were determined: the content of total polyphenols; antioxidant capacity, measured by the ability to scavenge the ABTS•+ radical cations (TEAC ABTS) and by the FRAP method; and the level of fluorescent intermediary compounds (FICs) and browning index (BI), as indicators of the progress of the Maillard reaction. The content of kynurenic acid (KYNA) was examined in the raw material, in slices, in the water after blanching and in the crisps. Blanching affected the fat absorption, with time being more critical than temperature. The color of crisps from yellow flesh potatoes after blanching lightened, while the color in the purple samples darkened. The content of total polyphenols was higher in purple crisps. Increasing the temperature and shortening the time of blanching increased the polyphenol content and the antioxidant capacity. Blanching decreased the level of FICs, while frying increased FICs. Higher BI values characterized the crisps from cv. Provita. Blanching reduced BI values by 50%, while frying at highest temperature increased these values. The content of KYNA in purple potatoes was almost three times higher than in yellow ones. Blanching and frying decreased the KYNA content in potatoes and fried crisps.
