Cooking Instruction
Peel and thinly sliced potatoes or cut them into any shape you like, then soaked them in saltwater.
Wash the potatoes several times to get rid of salt water, helping them be more crispy when frying.
If you want the chips to have a beautiful yellow color, mix a little turmeric powder or crushed fresh turmeric in boiling water and soak the potatoes in. After 1-2 minutes, take the potatoes out, and wash them with cold water. If you like the original color of the potato, you can skip this step.
Leave the potatoes to dry completely.
Deep fry them in hot oil until they turn golden and crispy.
If you want to keep the chips crispy for a long time, you should fry them twice. After the first fry, take the potatoes out and let them cool down, then fry the second time until they turn golden brown.
Take the potatoes out and let the oil drain.
Mix 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander leaves then sprinkle the mixture on the potatoes.

Notes
You should choose fresh potatoes. Note that hard, firm, yellow potatoes make better chips.
Make sure the potatoes are dry before frying to avoid oil splashing.
You can add cheese powder or any kinds of seasoning powder to taste.
Store fried potatoes in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
