Homemade potato chips Slice the unpeeled potatoes as thinly as possible; you can use a mandoline if you have one. Pat them dry with paper towels. Fill a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 375°F (190°C) with a deep-fry thermometer. Drop the potatoes into the oil and fry in batches until crisp and beginning to brown around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
