1
Prepare 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 potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps in achieving crispiness.
3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Crisps
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the crisps from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.
7
Serve
Let the crisps cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or a side dish!
