Homemade Potato Chips Recipe

Slice potatoes into thin rounds using a mandoline with a straight blade; place in a bowl. Season with a generous pinch of salt, toss to coat, and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until potatoes have begun to release moisture. Place potatoes on a clean kitchen towel; pat dry.

Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry potatoes until pale golden brown, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
