Potato Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which will help them become crispier when fried.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or a fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a single potato slice; if it sizzles and bubbles, the oil is ready.

Fry the Potatoes
Remove the potato slices from the water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Carefully place a handful of potato slices into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the Chips
Once all the potato slices are fried and seasoned, serve them warm as a side dish to your favorite sub or enjoy them as a snack on their own.
