1
Slice the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick).
2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.
3
Prepare the Oil
In a large, deep pot or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.

4
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of the potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
6
Remove and Drain
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper while they are still hot.

7
Cool and Serve
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a side with your favorite sub or on their own.
