Dry the Potatoes
After slicing, drain the water and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in one potato slice; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
