Soak the Slices
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them become crispier.

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

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 and any optional seasonings to taste.
