1
Slice the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
2
Soak the Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste. Toss gently to coat.
7
Serve
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade potato chips!
