Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes (sliced into thin rounds)
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil works best)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Ketchup (or your favorite dipping sauce) 

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into thin, even rounds using a knife or mandoline slicer.
2. Dry the slices with a paper towel to remove moisture. This ensures crispiness during frying.

Step 2: Season the Slices

1. Place the potato slices in a bowl. Sprinkle with onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3: Fry the Potatoes

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, arrange the slices in a single layer in the skillet. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
3. Fry each side for 3–5 minutes or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
4. Remove the slices and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Arrange the crispy potato rounds on a serving plate. Drizzle ketchup over the top or serve it as a dip on the side.
2. Serve immediately while they’re hot and enjoy the crunchy, savory goodness!

Tips for the Perfect Crispy Potatoes

• Even slices: Use a mandoline slicer for consistent thickness, ensuring even cooking.
• Adjust the flavor: Add chili powder for spice or Parmesan cheese for a cheesy twist.
• Keep them crispy: Serve immediately for the best texture, as they can soften when left out too long.
• Switch the dip: Try garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or ranch dressing for variety.
