1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/16 inch thick).
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. While they are still hot, sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
7
Serve
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Saratoga Chips!
