Potato Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps to make the chips crispy.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or 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 a slice of potato; it should sizzle immediately.
- 4
Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato slices to the hot oil. Fry them in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally.

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

Serve
Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy with your favorite dip!
