Potato Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.
Frying the Chips
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a heavy pot, pour the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
- 6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste while they are still hot.

Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices until all chips are cooked.
Serving

Serve the Chips
Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, transfer them to a serving bowl or plate. Enjoy them warm as a side to your favorite sandwich or as a snack on their own.
