1
Prepare potatoes
Rinse and scrub Russet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice into very thin rounds about 1-2 mm thick. Keep slices uniform for even cooking.
2
Dry slices
Pat the potato rounds dry with clean towels to remove surface moisture, which helps them crisp during frying.
3
Heat oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy pot to a depth of about 2 inches (5 cm). Heat to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
4
Fry in batches
Working in batches, fry the potato slices until they turn pale golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Stir gently to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
5
Season and drain
Use a slotted spoon to remove chips from the hot oil. Drain on paper towels, then immediately sprinkle with kosher salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
6
Serve
Let chips cool briefly and serve immediately. Optional: serve with your favorite dip.
