1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the large potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel them 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).
3
Soak the Slices
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will make the chips crispier.
4
Dry the Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
5
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a few potato slices to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and paprika if desired.
8
Serve
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade potato chips!

9
Prepare the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into wedges (quarters). You can cut them in half and then in half again.
10
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).
11
Fry the Tortilla Wedges
Carefully add a handful of tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown.
12
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the tortilla chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt.
13
Serve
Let the tortilla chips cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed plain or with dips like salsa or guacamole.
