Crunchy, golden, and way better than store-bought—these homemade potato chips are simple to make with just a few ingredients.

🧺 Ingredients

• 2–3 potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or sunflower)
• Salt, to taste

Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, vinegar powder

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Slice the Potatoes

1. Wash and peel potatoes (peel optional).
2. Slice very thin using a knife or mandoline.

👉 Thinner slices = crispier chips.

Step 2: Soak (Important!)

1. Place slices in cold water.
2. Soak 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3. Drain and pat completely dry with a towel.

Step 3: Fry

1. Heat oil to 175°C / 350°F.
2. Fry potato slices in small batches.
3. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring gently, until golden.
4. Remove and drain on paper towels.

⚠️ Don’t overcrowd the pan or chips won’t crisp.

Step 4: Season

• Sprinkle salt (and any seasoning) while hot.
• Toss gently.

⭐ Pro Tips for Extra Crunch
