   Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

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

7. 7

   Fry the potato slices for about 3-5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
