Classic Potato Chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and slice them very thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Rinse the potato slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Fry the potato slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer or pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

5. 5

   Remove the chips from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. 6

   While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt to taste.

7. 7

   Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your homemade classic potato chips!
