1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to ensure even cooking.
2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
7
Serve
Let the chips cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade potato chips!

8
Cut the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
9
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
10
Fry the Tortilla Wedges
Add a few tortilla wedges to the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
11
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried tortilla chips to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. While still warm, sprinkle with salt.
12
Serve
Let the tortilla chips cool slightly before serving with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dip.
