Method
Potato Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the chips crispier.
- 3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Season Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the dried potato slices with salt and pepper. Toss gently to ensure even seasoning.
Frying
- 5
Heat 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). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 6
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
- 7
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices.

Serve
Once all the chips are fried and drained, serve them warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade potato chips!
