1
Wash and Slice Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or a deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accurate frying.

3
Fry the Potato Slices
Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the slices for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with kosher salt and any additional seasonings you prefer, such as paprika or garlic powder. Toss gently to ensure even coating.

5
Serve and Enjoy
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade chips as a snack, appetizer, or alongside dips!
