1
Slice Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.
2
Soak Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier chips.
3
Heat Oil
In a large, deep pot or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
4
Fry Chips
Remove the potato slices from the water and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
5
Season Chips
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle Old Bay seasoning over the chips to taste.
6
Cool and Serve
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Transfer them to a serving bowl.

7
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice.
8
Mix Well
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.
9
Chill
Cover the aioli and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
10
Serve
Serve the Old Bay aioli alongside the kettle chips for dipping.
