1
Wash and Slice Potatoes
Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Peel them if preferred. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, using a mandolin or a sharp knife for even thickness.
2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and ensures crispiness when baked or fried.

3
Preheat Oven or Heat Oil
If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). If frying, heat a large pot or deep fryer with enough oil to submerge the chips, around 3 inches deep.
4
Dry Potato Slices
After soaking, drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to achieve a crispy texture.
5
Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
6
Bake or Fry the Chips
For baking, spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. For frying, carefully add the potato slices in batches to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7
Cool and Serve
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite dip.
