1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness for that perfect crunch.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
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).
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings while they are still hot.
7
Cool and Serve
Let the chips cool completely before serving. Enjoy your homemade kettle chips!
