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

Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
