1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin chips, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make the chips crispier.
3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to taste.
7
Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
8
Cool and Serve
Allow the chips to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Zapp's Chips with your favorite dipping sauce!
