Peel potatoes, rinse and cut into thin slices or slice on a mandolin. Pat dry with paper towels.

3.
Fry chips in batches until crispy, 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamins, fiber, and minerals, and it is great to snack on these chips every once in a while. Frying them in oil removes some of the nutritional value, but if you bake them instead, that can remain.

Use a different type of oil like olive or grapeseed oil, and bake the chips instead of frying them.
