Method
Chips 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 to remove excess starch and ensures crispiness.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.

Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess water.

Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Once the chips are golden and crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
