1
Wash and Slice Potatoes
Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. After cleansing, slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, aiming for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
2
Soak Potato Slices
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, making the chips crispier.

3
Heat Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
4
Dry Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato slices into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
6
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, season with salt, paprika, and black pepper.
7
Repeat Frying Process
Repeat the frying process for the remaining potato slices, ensuring to adjust the heat as necessary to maintain the oil temperature.

8
Season to Taste
If desired, sprinkle additional seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder over the chips while they are still warm.
9
Serve
Serve the chips warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dip!
