1
Wash and Slice the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even slices (about 1/8 inch thick).
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 helps remove excess starch, making the chips crispier.
3
Prepare the Seasoning
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
6
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
7
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with the seasoning mixture. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
8
Repeat
Continue frying the remaining potato slices in batches, drying and seasoning each batch as you go.

9
Serve the Chips
Once all chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container for later.
