1
Wash and Slice the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Place the slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
2
Prepare the Spice Blend
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all spices are evenly incorporated. Set aside.

3
Heat the 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 for accuracy.
4
Dry the Potato Slices
While the oil is heating, remove the potato slices from the water and dry them thoroughly using paper towels. This step is essential to prevent the oil from splattering.
5
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the chips for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
6
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them generously with the prepared spice blend. Toss gently to ensure even coating. Repeat the frying and seasoning process with the remaining potato slices.

7
Serve the House Chips
Once all chips are fried and seasoned, serve them immediately while hot. Enjoy your house potato chips as a tasty snack or side dish!
