1
Wash and Slice Potatoes
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Soak Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to help achieve extra crispiness.
3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure that they are as dry as possible to prevent oil splatter during frying.

4
Heat Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature.
5
Fry Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder over the chips to taste.

7
Serve Warm
Enjoy the kettle chips warm or allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. They can be served as a snack on their own or with your favorite dip.
