1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife, aiming for about 1/8 inch thickness.
2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potato slices and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry to remove moisture.
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). Use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature.
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
7
Repeat the Process
Continue frying the remaining potato slices in batches, ensuring the oil maintains its temperature.
8
Cool and Serve
Once all chips are fried and seasoned, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade chips with your favorite dip or on their own!
