Peel the russet potatoes and slice them using a mandoline to about 1/8 inch thickness. Thinner slices ensure crispiness.
Soak the potato slices in a large bowl filled with cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness.
Drain the potatoes and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Pat dry thoroughly to prevent oil splatter during frying.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, carefully add a small batch of potato slices into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chips.
Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until 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 paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil.
Immediately sprinkle the spice blend over the hot chips while they are still slightly oily to help the seasoning adhere.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices, ensuring the oil returns to 350°F (175°C) between batches.
Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy their maximum crispiness.
