1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline or knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even slices.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps to make the chips crispier.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or 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 to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
7
Serve
Serve the freshly fried chips immediately while they are still warm and crispy.
