For extra crispy chips, consider soaking the potato slices in a mixture of water and a splash of white vinegar before frying. Do not overcrowd the fryer, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chips. Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
