Method
Cooking Instructions
Soak the Slices
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps achieve crispiness.
Dry the Slices
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the potato slices in small batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
Serve
Serve the potato chips warm as a side with your meal, or enjoy them on their own.
