1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler and place the peeled potatoes on a cutting board.
2
Slice Potatoes
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick) to ensure they become crispy during frying.

3
Heat Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, pour the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a slice of potato in; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
4
Fry Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and paprika to taste.
6
Repeat
Continue frying the remaining potato slices in batches, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent. Drain and season each batch as you go.

7
Serve
Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm as a delicious side to your favorite sub, or enjoy them as a snack on their own.
