1
Wash and Slice Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Kennebec potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, ensuring uniform thickness for even cooking.
2
Soak Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, making the chips crispier.

3
Heat Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
4
Dry Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
5
Fry Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the chips for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil.
6
Drain and Season
Place the fried chips on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and any optional seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or black pepper to taste.

7
Serve Warm
Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm as a delicious snack or side dish. Enjoy your homemade Kennebec potato chips!
