Preparing the Potatoes

Begin by thoroughly washing the potatoes. Then, using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into very thin slices. Soak the slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier texture upon frying.

Seasoning

Pat the potato slices dry with paper towels. Season with a minimal amount of salt and any other desired flavorings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or spices. Keep the seasoning light to maintain the classic potato chip taste.

Frying

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan to 365°F (185°C). Fry the potato slices in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crisp. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes per batch.

Finishing Touches

Once fried, transfer the chips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. If desired, sprinkle a little more salt or seasoning while they are still hot. Let them cool before serving to allow the texture to set, ensuring the maximum crunch.
