1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Begin by thoroughly washing the Russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. After washing, peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler, if desired. Once peeled, slice the potatoes into thin, uniform chips, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
2
Soak Potato Chips
Place the sliced potato chips in a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to one hour. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier chips.
3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chips.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the dried potato slices in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even cooking.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.

7
Prepare Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred heat level. Serve alongside the chips for dipping.
