Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a sharp knife or mandolin, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Try to keep them as uniform as possible for even cooking.
Place the potato slices into a large bowl of cold water as you slice them to prevent oxidation and remove excess starch. Let them soak for about 5 minutes.
After soaking, drain the water and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring they are dry will help them crisp up in the oil.
In a large heavy-bottomed frying pan or deep skillet, pour in the vegetable oil so that it reaches about halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by adding a small slice of potato; it should sizzle upon contact.
Fry the potato slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the slices are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the potato slices from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the potato slices are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Serve the fried potato slices immediately while they are crispy and hot. Enjoy them as a standalone snack or as a side dish.
