A  hot chips recipe that will make your taste buds sing!

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

- 4 large russet potatoes

- Vegetable oil, for frying

- Salt, to taste

- Optional: Seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor

Now, let's get cooking!

1. Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. You can leave the skin on if you prefer a more rustic chip.

2. Slice the potatoes into thin, even strips. You can use a knife or a mandoline slicer for this, but be careful with your fingers!

3. Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make your chips crispier.

4. While the potatoes are soaking, heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer. You'll want enough oil to fully submerge the chips during frying.

5. Once the potatoes have soaked, drain them and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Moisture is the enemy of crispy chips!

6. Carefully lower a handful of potato slices into the hot oil. Be cautious to avoid any splattering. Fry the chips in small batches to ensure they cook evenly.

7. Fry the chips until they turn a golden brown color, usually for about 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.

8. Using a slotted spoon or a spider strainer, carefully remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

9. While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt or any desired seasonings to enhance the flavor. Toss them gently to ensure even distribution.

10. Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices until all the chips are cooked.

Beginner Tips:

- It's important to maintain a consistent oil temperature while frying. If the oil gets too hot, the chips may burn quickly. If it's not hot enough, they might turn out greasy. Aim for around 350°F (175°C).

- Be cautious when adding the chips to the hot oil to avoid any oil splatters. Gently place them in the oil, allowing them to cook without disturbances.

- Don't overcrowd the pot or fryer with too many chips at once. This will cause the temperature of the oil to drop, resulting in soggy chips.
