• Oil for deep frying (if frying)

Method

1. Wash and peel the potatoes if desired.

2. Slice the potatoes into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.

3. Soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2. Fry the potato slices in batches for 2–4 minutes until golden and crispy.

3. Drain on paper towels and season immediately with salt and your preferred spices.

For Air Frying

1. Toss the potato slices with vegetable oil and seasonings.

2. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

For Baking

1. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a lined baking tray.

2. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
