1
Prepare Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Potatoes
Working in batches, carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
7
Cool and Serve
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade potato chips!
