Ingredients
  

  • 3–4 large potatoes (Russet or any starchy type)
  • 3–4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Salt to taste

Optional Seasonings:

  • Black pepper
  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Chili powder

Instructions
 

Prepare The Potatoes:

  • Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them very thinly using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife (about 1.5 mm thick).

Soak The Slices:

  • Place the slices in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps them turn crisp.

Dry The Potatoes:

  • Drain the water and pat the slices dry completely using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth.

Heat The Oil:

  • Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot and heat it to 170–180°C (340–350°F).

Fry In Batches:

  • Add a handful of slices at a time, avoiding crowding. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes.

Drain And Season:

  • Remove the chips using a slotted spoon, and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Immediately sprinkle salt or your favorite seasoning while they’re still warm.

    Cool And Store:

    • Let the chips cool completely before storing in an airtight container to keep them crunchy.
