vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Olive oil is healthier but can be more expensive.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen potato slices

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients, while frozen slices are convenient.

salt

🥗Healthier: sea salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Sea salt has a different flavor profile and texture.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Smoked paprika adds depth without breaking the bank.

Wash and peel the potatoes.

Slice the potatoes thinly.

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

Drain and pat the potato slices dry.

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

Carefully add the potato slices in batches to the hot oil.

Fry the potato slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings while still hot.
