Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick, for even cooking.
Step 2
Rinse the potato slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4-inch deep in the pan.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot (about 350°F/175°C, or when a small piece of potato sizzles upon contact), carefully add a single layer of potato slices. Avoid overcrowding the pan for optimal crispiness.
Step 5
Fry the potato slices for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spatula or tongs to flip and remove the slices.
Step 6
Transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the hot potato slices.
Step 8
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the seasoned potatoes for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy Dad’s favorite fried potato slices as a snack or side dish!
