1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or 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 the potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
7
Repeat
Continue frying the remaining potato slices in batches until all are cooked. Adjust seasoning as desired.
8
Cool and Store
Allow the chips to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
