how to make fried potato chips at home

Wash and peel the potatoes.

Slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add a handful of potato slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

Fry the potato slices for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fried chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

While still hot, sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings like paprika or garlic powder if desired.

Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving.
