1
Wash and Peel the Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler.
2
Slice the Potatoes
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick) for even cooking.
3
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a slice of potato into it; it should sizzle immediately.
5
Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
6
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of the potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings if desired.

8
Serve and Enjoy
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm, either on their own or with your favorite dips.
