Soak and Dry Potatoes
Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test it by dropping a slice of potato into the oil; it should sizzle.

Fry the Potato Chips
Carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
