Method
Preparing the Potatoes
- 1
- 2
Soak the Slices
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.
Frying the Chips
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or a frying pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a kitchen thermometer.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensuring they are dry prevents the oil from splattering during frying.
- 5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.

Drain and Season
Place the fried chips on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss gently to coat.
