Potato Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier chips.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer for accurate temperature.

Dry the Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a few potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until the chips turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.

Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste. Toss gently to coat evenly.

Serve the Chips
Once all of the chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm as a crunchy side to your favorite sub or on their own as a snack.
