Number Of Ingredients 4

Peanut oil, for frying
2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt and
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat peanut oil in a deep fryer to 300 degrees F with peanut oil.
Slice the potatoes into very thin 1/8-inch slices using a mandolin with a straight blade attachment or a V slicer. Keep the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and blot dry with paper towels; y. You don''t want to put wet potatoes into hot oil.
Fry the potatoes in batches, only a handful at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Once they reach a golden brown color, remove the chips from the fryer and drain on a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Season the chips with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
