Peel the potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into thin slices using a mandoline or sharp knife.

Heat vegetable oil in a fryer or pot to about 360 to 380°F (182 to 193°C).

Add the potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer.

Fry the potato slices until they are golden and crispy, shaking them around with a spider to ensure even cooking.

Remove the chips from the fryer and shake off excess oil.

Season the chips with Emeril's essence and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
