1
Slice the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness for even cooking.
2
Soak the Slices
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes for crispier chips.
3
Dry the Slices
After soaking, drain the water and lay the potato slices on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove as much moisture as possible.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
7
Cool and Serve
Let the chips cool completely. Serve them as a snack or alongside your favorite dips.

Cut the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, creating 6-8 wedges per tortilla.
